Cataracts and Cataract Surgery

Clinically Integrated Care to Diagnose and Treat Cataracts

Loyola Medicine provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for cataracts. Our dedicated team of doctors, surgeons and nurses will provide expert care and address any questions and concerns that you may have.

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. As it progresses, a cataract can interfere with your ability to see clearly. There is currently no way to eliminate a cataract except surgically. Most often, a cataract is treated with a lens implant made of plastic materials to replace the natural hazy lens.

Cataracts are often a result of aging, although the age at which they interfere with an individual’s quality of life varies widely. Cataract surgery is performed when the cataract impairs an individual’s ability to read, drive or perform other activities of daily living.

Loyola’s ophthalmology team offers a wide range of comprehensive eye care services. Our board-certified ophthalmologists and licensed optometrists provide diagnostic services and personalized treatment for adults and children in all ophthalmic subspecialties.
