Cataract Surgery, Lens Implants & Driving
People with cataracts often are
unaware of the subtle changes in lifestyle and mobility that they adopt as they
await the “right time” for cataract surgery. Almost always, people who have
cataract surgery immediately feel an improved quality of life from the restored
freedom of clear vision, especially for those who wish to continue to drive. A recent
study also tells us that the choice of lens implant can play a role in
restoring driving habits. When you schedule an appointment for a cataract
evaluation or if you are visiting us for a cataract eye exam before surgery,
please be sure to discuss and advise us of your driving habits and
desires-especially night driving-so that we can counsel you on the different
types of lens implants that we might use to help you return to a comfortable,
convenient, safe and active driving pattern along with the other activities
that the cataract might have limited for you.
If you or someone you know has a
cataract or wishes to learn more about cataract surgery and lens implants
especially as related to driving and mobility, please schedule a cataract eye
exam by calling Northwest Indiana Eye & Laser Center at 219-464-8223,
or visit Northwest Indiana
Eye & Laser Center, Google+ or facebook.com/nwindianaeyeandlaser.
