Cataracts
Cataracts can cause blurry vision and sensitivity to light, impacting your ability to read and drive.
While cataracts can eventually cause blindness, this issue can be corrected through a safe and effective laser surgical procedure.
At Macy Eye Center in Los Angeles, CA, our team of expertly trained doctors can correct cataracts and improve your vision.
What are Cataracts?
The lens in your eye works much like the lens in a camera. It focuses light onto the retina, which then sends images to the brain, allowing you to see. A cataract is when your natural lens becomes cloudy and causes your vision to become blurry. If left untreated, it can lead to blindness.
Cataracts are a typical part of the aging process, which causes gradual clouding of your vision. However, it can also occur due to eye injuries, some diseases like diabetes, or medications.
At Macy Eye Center in Los Angeles, Dr. Jonathan Isaac Macy and Dr. Alexander Knezevic perform safe and effective laser cataract surgery using state-of-the-art technology and a variety of advanced intraocular lenses (IOL) to replace the cloudy natural lens and improve your eyesight.

Basic IOL
Monofocal IOLs only correct for either nearsightedness or farsightedness, however, they are typically covered by medical insurance. Check with your insurance provider for more details.
Toric IOL
If you select a toric IOL to correct astigmatism, we charge $1,750 for the lens. Or we can correct astigmatism using our femtosecond laser for the same charge.
Multifocal IOL
A multifocal IOL, which acts much like progressive lenses in eyeglasses, is $4,200. This lens allows people to see both near and far so they are less dependent on glasses.
