As we mature (get older), the lens of our eyes starts to change and eventually becomes cloudy. Cataracts will eventually happen to every person if they live long enough and with some people, cataracts can happen earlier or even appear at birth. The time to perform cataract surgery is when the cataract is causes enough blurred vision, glare, and visual difficulty that it negatively affects a patients quality of life.  Our board certified cataract surgeons, Dr. Sidney Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel, Dr. Jeffrey Martin and Dr. John Mauro are experts in cataract surgery and perform cataract surgery in the most modern ways including cataract surgery using no stitches, eye patch or injection around the eyes.
