What Is a Cataract?
A cataract is an age-related condition where your eye's natural lens gradually becomes cloudy, dimming the vivid details of life. It all begins with subtle changes—a slight haze or glare—that over time can make daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing loved ones increasingly challenging.
Contributing factors such as sunlight exposure, smoking, and health conditions like diabetes can accelerate this process. By addressing cataracts early, you protect your independence and ensure that every moment shines clearly.
Explore Your Lens Options
Choosing the right lens implant can transform more than just your sight. Our range of advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) addresses multiple vision needs:
Monofocal
Extended Focus Lens
Toric
A basic lens that will allow you to receive clarity in a single field of vision with glasses.
High-performance lenses tailored to support an active lifestyle, from hobbies to daily activities, offer vision transitions between distances. TORIC versions are available.
Advanced lens technology aims to correct astigmatism, providing a more balanced and stable field of vision for one range of vision.

Enjoy Clear, Lasting Vision
"I had a great experience. The staff was extremely polite, and obviously well trained in all areas of their job. My surgery went very quickly, and painlessly. My recovery has been painless as well. I am thrilled with the improvement of my vision. I had forgotten what it is like to see so clearly. My thanks to everyone at West Texas Eye Associates."

How Much Does Cataract Surgery Cost?
The type of lens you choose is one of the biggest factors in determining your cataract surgery cost. Your out-of-pocket cataract surgery cost depends on your insurance, deductible, and co-pay. Schedule a FREE Cataract consult so we can help you look at your coverage options.
Most people heal from cataract surgery within eight weeks, and some patients recover in as little as four weeks. Any soreness and discomfort from the procedure should disappear within a few days. You may also experience blurry vision at the beginning of the recovery period as your eye heals from the surgery.
Dropless cataract surgery is available to most patients considering traditional cataract surgery, except for those with glaucoma, a history of a reaction to steroids, or a high risk of inflammation. An eye surgeon can tell you more about the procedure and decide if you are a candidate for dropless cataract surgery.

Does Cataract Surgery Hurt?
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures performed today. It typically takes 15–20 minutes per eye, and most patients are surprised by how quick and easy the experience is.
The procedure is safe and effective, with minimal discomfort. Most people report that it was far more comfortable than expected, and any mild irritation afterward usually fades within a day or two.
