Many people have the misconception that Lasers are commonly used for Cataract removal. Cataracts, typically, are actually removed with ultra-sound waves as described above, not with Laser light. However, a small percentage of people develop a condition in the months or years after Cataract surgery where a thin film of Scar tissue forms behind the implanted lens and causes the vision to be blurred. Often these patients will feel that their Cataract has returned or "grown back." However rest assured that once the Cataract has been removed, it is not possible for it to recur. In these cases, an opening can be quickly and absolutely painlessly made in the Scar tissue with a Laser, without disturbing the lens implant or any other tissues within the eye. With light able to once again Focus on the Retina, Clear vision is thereby restored. Some people hearing of this might incorrectly think that it is some form of a Cataract that is being removed with the Laser.
As the field of ophthalmology advances, researchers are exploring many ways in which
Cataracts can safely and easily be removed. Interestingly enough, much of the research
revolves around the use certain Lasers to break apart a Cataract. While the commonplace of these techniques are certainly in the future, if at all, current Cataract surgery achieves equal and life-changing results today.

Cataract surgery affords an almost miraculous restoration of Clear vision. It is one of the few medical procedures that can literally turn back the hands of time. In fact, many patients achieve vision comparable to the eyesight they enjoyed in their youth. Some of the benefits include the following:
- Improved Color Vision - Once the Cataract is removed, colors are no longer tinged by its effect. Colors will be much more vivid and Vibrant after surgery.
- Improved Clarity of Vision - Visual acuity is usually improved. Reading and watching television can be enjoyed thanks to sharper, clearer vision.
- Increased Independence - Following Cataract surgery, many patients eyesight is improved to the point that they can regain their driver's license.
- Improved Quality of Life - Improved vision leads to renewed interest and participation in the fun things in life. Hobbies, work, and enjoying the company of friends comes easier when vision is improved.
- Reduced Dependence Upon Corrective Eyewear - The lens implant used during Cataract surgery may be able to compensate for pre-existing focusing problems such as Nearsightedness or Farsightedness. Glasses may be needed for some activities, such as reading or driving. When glasses are required all the time, the lenses are often able to be much thinner, making the spectacles lighter and more attractive.
