Cataract Surgery in Potomac Falls

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that gradually blurs and dims vision. Modern cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring sharp vision in an outpatient procedure that typically takes less than 30 minutes per eye.

  • Femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification
  • Premium and toric IOL options
  • Outpatient surgery at Reston Surgery Center
  • Most patients see clearly within days

Preparing for surgery, lens options, recovery, videos, and detailed FAQs are covered in our cataract surgery guide.
