What is a Cataract?

Cataracts can start with a subtle loss of color vibrancy and contrast sensitivity or they can cause blurring of vision. Left untreated, cataracts can develop further, becoming more severe and leading ultimately to significantly impaired vision which can make it difficult to perform daily activities safely or comfortably.

How Does Cataract Surgery Work?

View Video

Laser-assisted cataract surgery uses the precision and accuracy of a laser to provide you with the most advanced cataract procedure available. 

Learn More about Laser Assisted Surgery

Traditional cataract surgery has evolved into a delicate, sophisticated, and gentle procedure making for a quick recovery. The techniques, instruments, and lenses used by our cataract surgeons at Denver Eye Surgeons are cutting edge.

step 1 of cataracts surgery

Step 1

Phacoemulsification with a small handpiece allows the creation of a very small wound.

Step 2

The surgeon uses an ultrasonic needle to break up and liquefy (emulsify) the cataract so it can be removed through a very small incision.

Step 3

A foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implant is placed permanently inside the eye to help focus light onto the retina, or the “film” of the eye.

Step 4

Vision returns quickly following cataract surgery and one can resume normal activities within a short period of time.

What Our Patients Say

It was a wonderful experience. Everyone from the beginning to end was exceptional! The surgery was quick and painless. During the LASIK surgery, when I was scared, someone sat and held my hand. It was the small things like holding my hand that made the experience so wonderful.

Dr. Kumar's staff held my hand the whole way. I was petrified. But I researched to find the very skilled Dr. Kumar and the very kind assistants who dealt effectively with my fear. My eye sight is better than perfect, now, with NO GLASSES.

I had PRK surgery last year. The surgery was uneventful. But the recovery was slow because of the type of surgery. I was nervous that the procedure hadn't"worked" but everyone at Denver Eye Surgeons kept telling it would be fine - and it was!

The staff was very helpful and informative. Dr. Kumar is very knowledgeable and understanding, easy to talk to and willing to spend as much time as needed answering questions. The procedure itself was a lot easier and quicker than anticipated, and the recovery was easy. Best decision I've made in a long time!
