Enhanced Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. Fortunately, the Soni Vision Institute in Cypress, Texas performs cataract removal to improve your vision and quality of life.
Soni Vision’s expert ophthalmology team offers premium cataract surgery options to restore your sight and quality of life.
What Are Cataracts?
Our eyes are born with clear, natural lenses, which work to focus images and help us see clearly, every day. When our natural lenses become cloudy and hazy, we call that a cataract. Cataracts decrease the focus and clarity of our vision.
Age is the typical cause of cataracts. As we age, the proteins in our lenses begin to deteriorate and bind together. This phenomenon makes it difficult for light to pass through, resulting in reduced clarity and an inability to focus.
There are other causes of cataracts as well. Eye injury or trauma, overexposure to ultraviolet light, certain medications, family history, and specific medical illnesses are all known causes of cataracts.
Cataract Symptoms
Cataracts cause a painless and progressive decrease in sight. Specific cataract symptoms you may experience include:
- Glare, especially while driving at night
- Foggy, cloudy vision
- Colors appear faded or have a yellow or brown tinge
- Frequent eyeglass prescription changes
- Double vision
- Increased nearsightedness (myopia)
Of course, all of our eyes are different. With that said, cataract symptoms can vary per person.
What Is Cataract Surgery?
When a cataract is mature and interferes with your quality of life, cataract surgery is an option to restore your vision. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy cataract from your eye and replacing it with a man-made, artificial lens. The artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery is customized and selected to improve your vision.
The procedure is outpatient and typically lasts
fifteen minutes.
Soni Vision’s Cataract Treatment
Approach
We recognize how unique every patient’s case is. Our team takes a personalized approach to your care. To ensure your case has the best resolution, we offer cataract surgery options customized to your needs.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Traditionally, cataract surgery is performed using blades or scalpels. Fortunately, recent medical advancements now make cataract surgery less invasive, more customized, and blade-free.
When it comes to our eyes, we want the most precise and gentle experience. Laser-assisted cataract surgery moves beyond the standard procedure with the accuracy of a laser. This enables the surgeon to make incisions unique to each patient’s case. The result is a consistent and customized experience for every patient.
Which Lens Option is Right for Me?
Enhanced Intraocular Lenses
At Soni Vision, the most technologically advanced intraocular lenses are available for your cataract surgery. These lenses simplify your life by reducing your dependence on eyeglasses and rehabilitate your sight for years to come.
TORIC Intraocular Lens
This technologically advanced lens is designed specifically for patients with astigmatism, who require special treatment to correct their vision.
What is astigmatism? Patients with astigmatism have an abnormally shaped cornea, which makes it harder to focus and creates a visual blur. Patients with astigmatism require customized intraocular lenses to correct their astigmatism and restore their visual clarity.
This is where the TORIC intraocular lens comes in, solving both the issue of cataracts and astigmatism. TORIC Intraocular lenses restore distance vision. For example, watching a movie or reading road signs will be much easier! Reading glasses, however, will still be necessary.
Enhanced intraocular lenses such as a TORIC are not routinely covered by insurance and are considered an out-of-pocket expense.
Multifocal Intraocular Lens
The most advanced intraocular lenses available – multifocal lenses are the complete package. Multifocal lenses correct astigmatism while also restoring your distance vision and near vision. Patients who opt for multifocal lenses will notice improved vision in most of their daily activities.
Multifocal intraocular lenses may be an option for you. After a detailed and thorough evaluation, Soni Vision’s team of experts will determine if you are a candidate. Dr. Soni will take the time to explain how this technology will likely impact your day-to-day activities. If you’re a good candidate, multifocal intraocular lenses will reduce your dependence on glasses and contacts after cataract surgery.
Intraocular lenses and certain cataract procedures may come with out-of-pocket costs. Nevertheless, dealing with hazy and blurry vision doesn’t have to be your reality!

What is ORA Technology?
ORA Technology
ORA technology is integral to the enhanced cataract surgery experience. It is a state-of-the-art technology which allows the surgeon to scan the human eye and take measurements on-demand, during the procedure. This real-time data allows the surgeon to precisely select and customize the new lens power and position it for success.
Why is ORA technology important for you?
During cataract surgery, a new intraocular lens is placed inside the human eye, which is customized and designed to “fit” perfectly. ORA technology allows the surgeon to seamlessly measure the eye in seconds and select the most highly customized lens for each patient. ORA technology enables unmatched precision, customization, and efficiency. In many cases, it leads to a reduced dependence on glasses and contacts after surgery.
At Soni Vision, we believe in utilizing the best technology to ensure the best outcomes. Our team of experts takes a personalized approach, realizing eye surgery can be stressful.
Our goal is to simplify the process and improve your vision, every day.
