Over time, cataracts can significantly impair daily activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Cataracts can lead to vision loss when untreated, so it is important to have regular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/midwestvision.com\/service\/eye-exams\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eye exams<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and act fast upon diagnosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cataracts typically develop slowly and may not cause noticeable symptoms at first.

This allows for greater precision than when the operation is performed entirely by hand, increasing effectiveness and decreasing the risk of complications. It also allows your surgeon to tailor the procedure specifically to your eye, making it an excellent long-term solution for cataracts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure begins with the doctor numbing the eye so you will not feel pain or discomfort. Next, an imagining device maps your eye. Based on this map, a laser is programmed to make precise incisions in the eye and lens capsule. Once these incisions are made, the laser will break up the cataract into smaller pieces. Finally, the surgeon removes the cataract and inserts an artificial lens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This quick, outpatient procedure only takes about 20 minutes to complete after which recovery times vary from a few weeks to two months. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cb0f92 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6cb0f92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/request-an-appointment\/?_services=cataracts\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Request an Appointment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d9af7df elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d9af7df\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-741db15 shad treatment-col\" data-id=\"741db15\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d345ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3d345ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/midwestvision.com\/service\/premium-cataract-surgery\/\">Drop-Free &amp; Drop-Less Cataract Surgery<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af2413c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"af2413c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does drop-free\/drop-less cataract surgery mean?
