Having cataract surgery with Dr. Gary Barth was easy, painless, and a positive experience. Getting the Crystalens gave me excellent intermediate and distance vision. Colors are fabulous.
I use inexpensive glasses for very close reading. I am very pleased and can recommend this surgery.

There are three main types of cataracts. The most common, nuclear cataracts, involves a diffuse cloudiness throughout the lens. A cortical cataract, located in the mid periphery of the lens, is orientated similar to the spokes in a wheel. A subcapsular cataract develops in the posterior outer layer of the lens, creating a “ground glass” appearance on slit lamp exam. The subcapsular cataract often causes more difficulty with reading and can be associated with glare symptoms.
