I have been wearing glasses for distance since I was 6 years old. I began wearing reading glasses at 40. For the last 20 years between reading glasses, contacts for distance and sunglasses I started to grow impatient with all of it. I developed cataracts in both eyes and decided to visit Kelly Vision. It was recommended that I have the MultiFocal lens replace the lenses that were removed. MY LIFE CHANGED. After wearing glasses all my life I now don't wear anything...distance or reading. It is shocking but so remarkable. I'm free, I'm young again with my sight and feel a tremendous amount of gratitude to Dr James Kelly. I absolutely recommend Dr Kelly to everyone. And he is so nice.

What is a Cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. Cataracts are generally associated with aging, although they may be caused by other factors. They are the result of protein buildup that clouds the lens and leads to blurry vision, difficulty with glare, dulled colors, poor night vision, and often increased nearsightedness (myopia).

What Are the Benefits of Cataract Surgery?
In addition to improving a patient’s vision, cataract surgery in NYC comes with other benefits.
Improved Quality of Life
Cataracts can impede one’s ability to perform everyday tasks, such as driving, reading, and other activities that one may enjoy doing. Patients whose vision is severely affected by cataracts find that they feel less independent and more hindered from connecting with other people socially. Cataract surgery can have a massive improvement on one’s quality of life.
Decreased Risk of Falls and Fractures
Falls are a major issue for older patients, as they can lead to injury or death. The impaired vision associated with cataracts can greatly reduce a patient’s ability to see properly. Recent data shows that patients have a much lower risk of falling after undergoing cataract surgery.
Improved Longevity
Beyond improving a patient’s quality of life, cataract surgery can also achieve an extension of lifespan. Research findings indicate that undergoing cataract surgery is associated with longer lifespans. This data demonstrated that patients who undergo cataract surgery have a 40 percent drop in mortality rates when compared to other patients.
