Description
Dr. Justo explains the basics of cataracts and cataract surgery options. Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a synthetic lens called an intraocular lens (IOL), which is available in a variety of types and strengths. Dr. Justo's goal is to provide education to patients so they can make informed decisions about their treatment.

In a cataract procedure,
[00:00:02.400]
what we are doing is,
[00:00:04.080]
we're essentially removing that clouded lens from behind the pupil,
[00:00:08.400]
and then we're replacing it
[00:00:10.120]
with a synthetic lens called an Intraocular Lens Implant,
[00:00:14.160]
also known as an IOL.

Please know that there are many, many different options these days,
[00:00:20.520]
and we'll help you navigate those options.
[00:00:23.360]
Our goal is to customize the surgery for you, educate you, give you options,
[00:00:30.040]
and try to achieve the best outcome that we possibly can.

It is so gratifying to see our patients
[00:00:36.600]
who have enjoyed newly found vision, beautiful colors, beautiful detail,
[00:00:42.400]
patients who have regained their ability to do artistic work,
[00:00:45.760]
who have regained their ability to drive,
[00:00:48.160]
who have regained their ability to just simply go back to work
[00:00:52.600]
and enjoy their life.

Now that I'm well into my fourth decade of performing refractive cataract surgery,
[00:01:00.880]
I cannot tell you how proud I am of the results that we achieved,
[00:01:06.640]
the team behind you, not just myself, but our entire team

[00:01:14.320]
the outcome that you desire.
