Do I Need
Cataract Treatment?

An cataract is when the lens in your eye becomes clouded, obstructing your vision. Symptoms of cataracts include:

  • Blurry vision
  • Difficulty seeing at night
  • Light and glare sensitivity
  • Yellowing of colors
  • Seeing halos

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, scheduling a cataract screening with our team can help determine if you have cataracts, what stage they’re at, and what treatments are necessary.

Ultimately, if your cataracts are negatively impacting your vision, cataract eye surgery is a great option to regain freedom and independence with clear vision.

What Happens
During Cataract Eye Surgery?

During your cataract procedure, Dr. Sambursky will replace your clouded lens with an intraocular lens transplant, or an IOL, to restore your vision. This is an outpatient procedure and only takes around 15 minutes.

At Sambursky Eye & Esthetics, we perform laser cataract surgery with a LenSx ® laser, increasing accuracy and comfort for your procedure. As the only surgical team in the region to offer femtosecond laser procedures, we provide our patients with the most customized, precise results possible.

This surgery has extremely high success rates, and you can feel confident trusting our team with your cataract removal. Dr. Sambursky will go above and beyond to ensure that you’re informed and comfortable every step of the way.
