Cataract surgery, performed here in Syracuse.
Modern cataract surgery with premium lens options to fit your lifestyle — performed locally in Syracuse.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that develops gradually with age. The only effective treatment is cataract surgery — a safe, brief outpatient procedure that replaces the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one called an intraocular lens (IOL).
Eye Consultants of Syracuse offers a range of modern IOL options so you can choose the lens that best fits how you want to see — at distance, up close, or both.
Premium lens options
Clareon® PanOptix®
The Alcon Clareon® PanOptix® is an advanced, premium trifocal intraocular lens (IOL), specifically engineered to correct vision at near, intermediate, and distance ranges simultaneously — significantly reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses.
Clareon® Vivity®
The Alcon Clareon® Vivity® is a premium, non-diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens providing a wide, continuous range of vision. Because it does not split light, patients experience significantly fewer halos, starbursts, and glare at night than with traditional multifocal lenses.
During your consultation, we'll discuss which lens is the best fit for your eyes, your daily activities, and your goals.
How long does cataract surgery take?
Cataract surgery is a brief outpatient procedure, usually lasting under 30 minutes per eye. You'll be awake but relaxed, with the eye fully numbed. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two. We'll guide you through pre-op measurements, day-of arrival, and post-op drops at your consultation. Cataract surgery is covered by Medicare and most major medical plans — see our accepted insurance plans.
