Cataract Surgery

Cataract Surgery in McKinney & Frisco, TX | TVLC

What is Cataract Surgery?

Cataract surgery is one of the most common and effective ways to restore your vision. It works by removing the cloudy lens inside your eye and replacing it with a crystal-clear artificial one, so you can see the world in sharp, vibrant detail again.

While LASIK and PRK reshape the cornea, cataract surgery focuses on the eye’s internal lens. It's a great option for anyone struggling with cloudy vision, glare, or difficulty seeing at night, especially as we age.

Before Your Cataract Surgery

We understand that preparing for your eye surgery can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make the process smooth and reassuring.

Before your procedure, you can expect:

  • A thorough review of your eye health, medical history, and vision goals

  • Personalized guidance on exactly what to expect before, during, and after surgery

  • A compassionate team ready to answer questions and help you feel at ease every step of the way

During Your Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery at TVLC is quick, low-stress, and typically takes less than 30 minutes:

  1. The entire procedure is done under local anesthesia, keeping you relaxed and comfortable throughout.

  2. Then, a small, precise incision is made to remove your clouded natural lens, gently.

  3. After, we carefully insert a clear, artificial lens (IOL) designed specifically for your vision needs.

You'll rest for a short time afterward and head home the same day.

After Your Cataract Surgery

We want your recovery to be just as smooth as your procedure:

  • Many patients begin to see more clearly within just a few days

  • Light activity is fine, but avoid heavy lifting or straining for about a week

  • You’ll come back for a few follow-up visits to make sure everything’s healing as it should

Our team is always just a call away if you need anything or have questions during your recovery.


Eye Drop Medications

Patients will be prescribed a compounded eye drop medication to support proper healing after surgery. Our team will provide detailed instructions for administering the drops according to a schedule that gradually tapers over four weeks.

Intraocular Implants

TVLC offers several intraocular lens implant options tailored to each patient’s eye health, lifestyle, and vision goals. Depending on the lens selected, patients may reduce their dependence on glasses after cataract surgery:

  • Basic monofocal lenses: Correct vision at one distance, typically distance vision. Glasses are generally needed for near tasks and may be needed for other distances.

  • Toric lenses: Correct astigmatism and improve distance vision. Reading glasses may still be needed.

  • Extended-depth-of-focus lenses: Provide an extended range of vision, typically distance and intermediate, with less dependence on glasses for activities such as driving and computer use.

  • Multifocal lenses: Provide a broader range of vision—including distance, intermediate, and near—to reduce dependence on glasses for everyday activities.

Your TVLC surgeon will recommend the lens options best suited to your individual needs. To learn more about monofocal and multifocal lens options click the corresponding link above.

Monovision

Monovision is an option that has existed for many years and is frequently used with contact lenses. Monovision can also be achieved with monofocal implants at the time of cataract surgery. One eye is corrected to see off in the distance (usually the dominant eye). The other eye is corrected to see up close. Over the course of a few weeks the brain learns to select the best close or faraway image, depending on what the patient wants to see. Monovision is not an option for every patient, and only you and your doctors at the Texas Vision & Laser Center together can determine if this is the best option for you.
