Cataract surgery removes the clouded crystalline lens (cataract) inside the eye, clearing the path for light rays entering the eye. It is among the most highly perfected, safe, and successful operations in all of medicine. More than 2.5 million cataract operations are performed in this country every year.
Intraocular lens implantation at the time of cataract surgery can aid vision correction. During surgery, a small incision is made and a folded polished plastic lens is inserted and implanted into the eye to aid in vision correction. To date, more than 500 million IOLs have been implanted worldwide.
Modern cataract surgery is performed under local or eye drop anesthesia supplemented with only minimal sedation. The procedure is painless and with Dr. Donnenfeld surgical time is usually less than ten minutes. In most cases Dr. Donnenfeld performs cataract surgery that does not require injections, sutures, or patches. Dr. Donnenfeld performs his cataract surgery at Island Eye Surgery Center, one of the leading centers for cataract removal in the United States.
