Advanced Cataract Surgery with a Board-Certified Ophthalmologist
Board-Certified Cataract Surgery for Clearer Vision and Healthy Eyes
Cataract surgery is one of the most effective and commonly performed eye procedures, designed to restore clear vision by removing a clouded natural lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Dr. Michael Su, board-certified ophthalmologist provides comprehensive cataract care—from accurate diagnosis and pre-surgical evaluation to advanced surgical techniques and customized lens options. Using the latest technology, we ensure a safe, comfortable experience and excellent visual outcomes. Whether your goal is to reduce dependence on glasses or simply see clearly again, our team delivers personalized, expert cataract surgery tailored to your eyes and lifestyle.
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural crystalline lens, which can cause blurry vision, glare, or difficulty seeing in low light. Over time, the lens becomes less transparent, making everyday tasks like reading, driving, or recognizing faces more difficult. Cataracts are most often related to aging but can also result from injury, diabetes, or prolonged sun exposure.
At Ophthalmology Consultants of New Jersey, our board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Michael Su, offers comprehensive cataract evaluation and treatment to help you restore clear, vibrant vision.
How do I know if I have cataract problems?
Common symptoms include blurry or dim vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light and glare, halos around lights, and faded or yellowed colors. Some patients also notice frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions or double vision in one eye. Early detection is important, as cataracts can worsen over time and significantly impact daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces. If you experience any of these symptoms, scheduling a comprehensive eye exam with a board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Michael Su, can help determine the best treatment options.
Advanced Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure that removes the clouded crystalline lens and replaces it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This outpatient procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes and allows for a quick recovery with minimal discomfort.
Our surgeon, Dr. Michael Su, uses the latest techniques, including laser-assisted cataract surgery, to provide precise replacement of the crystalline lens and achieve optimal visual outcomes.
Measuring for a lens implant
After the removal of a cataract, your clouded crystalline lens is replaced with a precisely calculated intraocular lens (IOL) implant to restore clear vision. For patients with significant refractive errors or eyeglass prescriptions, a customized IOL can significantly reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Using advanced computerized measurements and biometry, we determine the ideal IOL power with exceptional accuracy, allowing most patients to achieve near-zero post-operative refractive error and sharper, more natural vision.

Outpatient Cataract Surgery for Safe and Comfortable Vision Restoration
Our cataract surgery is performed in a state-of-the-art outpatient surgical facility, ensuring convenience and a safe environment. Patients receive topical numbing eye drops along with IV sedation for a comfortable, pain-free experience. Using advanced technology, including computerized femtosecond laser, ultrasound, and vacuum systems, we safely and efficiently remove the cloudy crystalline lens. The procedure is completed with precise intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, restoring clear vision and improving overall visual quality.
Cataract Surgery Recovery – Fast, Safe, and Effective
After outpatient cataract surgery, patients return home the same day, enjoying a comfortable and convenient recovery. Prescription eye drops help prevent infection and reduce inflammation, supporting a smooth healing process.
