Cataract Evaluation and Cataract Surgery in Kinnelon, NJ

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that can make vision blurry, dim, hazy, or glare-sensitive. Cataracts often develop gradually and may interfere with reading, driving at night, recognizing faces, watching television, or seeing clearly in bright light.

Common cataract symptoms include:

At New Jersey Eye MD in Kinnelon, Dr. Eric Shnayder evaluates cataracts through a comprehensive ophthalmic exam. If cataracts are affecting your daily activities, Dr. Shnayder can discuss whether cataract surgery may be appropriate and explain available lens implant options. Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens.

FAQ's

How do I know if I need cataract surgery?

You may need a cataract evaluation if blurry vision, glare, halos, faded colors, or night-driving difficulty are interfering with daily life.

Can new glasses fix cataracts?

Early cataract symptoms may sometimes be improved with a new prescription, but advanced cataracts usually require surgical evaluation.

Is cataract surgery outpatient?

Cataract surgery is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Shnayder will explain what applies to your specific case.

Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implants

During cataract surgery, the eye’s cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens, or IOL. Choosing the right IOL is an important part of cataract surgery planning — different lens options may help address distance vision, near vision, astigmatism, or lifestyle needs.

At New Jersey Eye MD, Dr. Eric Shnayder explains lens implant options in clear terms so patients can make informed decisions based on their eye health, measurements, visual goals, and medical history.
