Comprehensive Care for Cataracts

Cataracts are an extremely common eye condition that typically develop as the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading over time to dim or blurred vision. When left untreated, they can significantly impair daily activities, but advanced cataracts surgery offers a safe and effective solution for most patients.

Our board‑certified surgeons specialize in modern cataract removal techniques using premium intraocular lens (IOL) technology. As a trusted eye doctor for cataracts in Charleston, we tailor each treatment plan to your visual needs, reducing dependence on glasses and helping you reclaim clear vision. We also assess the health of your cornea and optic nerve to ensure the best possible care throughout your treatment journey.

Should You Consider Cataract Surgery?

  • Cataracts begin with symptoms like cloudy vision and difficulty focusing, which may gradually affect daily activities like reading or driving.
  • If you’re experiencing faded colors, glare, or frequent changes in your glasses prescription, it may be time to explore cataract treatment options.
  • As cataracts develop, proteins in the natural lens break down, making lens replacement necessary to restore clear vision.
  • Consulting with a cataract surgeon early gives you access to advanced treatments like laser surgery and intraocular lens technology.
  • Eye surgery may sound intimidating, but most patients report only mild discomfort and improved vision within days.
  • Our expert team is dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care, helping you navigate symptoms, eye problems, and the entire treatment process

What to Expect from Cataract Surgery

You’ll receive a detailed evaluation including vision testing and scans to determine the best IOL type. On surgery day, our surgeons use numbing drops and create a small incision—no stitches required. The cloudy lens is replaced with your custom IOL to improve clarity and focus.

Recovery is quick: most patients experience clearer vision within a day and return to normal routines within a week. We provide follow‑up care and team support throughout the healing process. Our goal is a smooth experience and lasting results.
