Cataract Surgery
in Salt Lake City, Utah

Cataracts are a common eye condition that can cause blurry eyesight and even vision loss if left untreated. Once cataracts develop, cataract surgery is the only solution that will last — and our team can help you see clearly again with the expertise, advanced technology, and IOL options to bring you cataract-free clarity.

What are Cataracts?

Cataracts are a dense, cloudy area on your eye’s normally clear lens, a part of your eye necessary for focusing vision. They gradually form throughout the natural aging process, putting those over the age of 40 at greater risk of developing cataracts, and those over 60 at very high risk. Cataracts can lead to blurry, hazy, or yellow eyesight; decreased night vision; increased light sensitivity; and halos around lights.

Why Choose Standard Optical for Cataract Surgery?

Throughout the decades, our team has continuously adopted and become experts in industry-leading treatments and technology — and cataract surgery is an area where our innovation shines.

Our doctors are extensively trained in a state-of-the-art cataract surgery known as phacoemulsification. This allows us to remove the cataract and replace it with an artificial, vision-restoring IOL more efficiently than other cataract surgeries so you can recover and enjoy your vision faster.

IOLs don’t just replace cataracts: they can enhance your vision by correcting astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. Ask about premium IOLs such as the Alcon AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® Multifocal!
