Cataracts, a common age-related eye condition, cloud the eye’s natural lens, leading to impaired vision.
Our team of board-certified surgeons at Eye Physicians & Surgeons, located in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, is dedicated to providing innovative cataract treatments and other eye care services. We strive to be your trusted partner in eye health.
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye, which should be clear, gradually becomes cloudy. This cloudiness prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, leading to blurred or distorted vision. Cataracts often develop slowly over time, which is why many people do not notice the early changes right away.
In addition to aging, factors such as diabetes, prolonged sun exposure, smoking, and certain medications can increase the risk of developing cataracts.

Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Our practice offers custom, blade-free, laser-assisted cataract surgery, which allows our surgeons to perform procedures with unparalleled precision. This advanced technology is particularly beneficial for patients with astigmatism or those who wish to reduce dependence on glasses.
The femtosecond laser enhances surgical accuracy, resulting in optimal lens positioning, minimal trauma, and more predictable visual outcomes, particularly with advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Innovative Lens Implant Options
Eye Physicians & Surgeons provides a comprehensive selection of lens implant options, tailored to your lifestyle and visual needs. Our offerings include:
Standard Monofocal Lens
Monofocal implants are designed to provide clear vision at a single distance, typically for distance vision. Patients who required corrective lenses before surgery will likely continue to use them afterward for near or intermediate tasks.
Multifocal Lens Implants
For patients with presbyopia, or those without, multifocal lenses like the AcrySof ReSTOR offer the ability to see clearly at various distances. This technology greatly reduces reliance on reading glasses or bifocals, allowing seamless transition from reading nearby text to viewing distant objects. In clinical trials, a significant percentage of patients reported freedom from glasses post-surgery.

Toric Implants for Astigmatism
The AcrySof Toric IOL is designed to correct both cataracts and corneal astigmatism simultaneously, offering improved distance vision without the need for corrective eyewear. This lens technology provides precise astigmatic correction.
