The lens of the eye helps to focus images on the retina.  Often the lens will become cloudy and yellow as we age.  When this happens it blurs vision and fades colors.

Treatment for Cataract

When the cataract becomes bad enough, surgery becomes necessary to remove the cataract and replace it with a clear implant.  Cataract surgery is performed usually on the worst eye first.  Special implants to correct some near vision as well as distance vision are available.  The extra costs of these implants are not covered by insurance.   Dr. Quaranta has been managing cataract patients pre- and post-operatively for 10 years. He can make sure you receive cataract surgery from among the best surgeons in the Phoenix area.
