Cataract Surgery in Texas
At Tylock Nasser Vision and Laser Center, we are proud to offer many different procedures to assist in achieving clearer vision. One of our featured treatments is high-quality cataract surgery.
Recent advancements in cataract surgery have made it one of the safest and most effective eye surgeries available, with over one million being performed every year in the United States. Tylock Nasser Vision offers the most advanced technology in intraocular lenses (IOLs), helping to reduce patients’ need for bifocals and reading glasses as they start to develop cataracts over time.
What is a Cataract?
Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural crystalline lens — one of the primary structures responsible for clear vision — becomes clouded. Cataracts can develop at any age, but people over the age of 40 face a higher risk of developing cataracts. The process of developing cataracts can be very slow and take many years to be noticeable. This is why it’s important to get regular check-ups for cataracts and other age-related eye conditions, especially after the age of 40.
Cataracts currently affect more than 20.5 million Americans over age 40.
90%
By age 65, over 90% of people in the US will develop cataracts. By age 75, their cataracts can really affect their vision.
38.7
By 2030, the total number of people with cataracts is expected to grow to 38.7 million.
When the cataract is developing, the eye will become more nearsighted. As the cataract progresses, the lens of your eye will become more and more cloudy, reducing vision. The only way to restore vision to what it was is to have either traditional or laser cataract surgery, which replaces the clouded lens with an artificial intraocular lens.
Cataract surgery is the most common eye procedure performed, simply because cataracts are so common. Our team of professional eye doctors offer the latest technology for cataract surgery in Dallas. The procedure is simple — it’s performed on an outpatient basis, takes around half an hour from start to finish, and recovery typically only takes a few days.

What to Expect from Cataract Surgery
At Tylock Nasser Vision and Laser Center, all cataract surgeries are performed in a clean, modern surgical facility by a team of highly trained professionals.
During the procedure, the eye is kept numb with a local anesthetic for maximum comfort throughout cataract surgery. A tiny incision is created by the eye surgeon, which allows for a phacoemulsifier (a small probe that uses ultrasound waves) to gently remove the clouded lens. The cataract treatment itself takes less than 20 minutes to perform.
Following the procedure, eye drops will be placed in the eye to decrease inflammation and prevent infection, allowing for a faster and easier recovery period. Most patients find that they are able to resume normal daily activities less than 24 hours following their cataract treatment.
During the Cataract Surgery
The cataract surgery itself is a two-step procedure. The first step is removing the cloudy lens from the eye. The cataract will be gently broken up (this can be done with either a laser or ultrasound probe) and removed from the eye through a very small incision.
After the cataract is out, a new lens is needed to assist in focusing after the surgery. Intraocular lenses (IOLs), made of a plastic-like material, are inserted to restore the vision. These implants are available in many different strengths, making each surgery specialized to the extent of the condition. Prior to your procedure, your ophthalmologist will perform multiple measurements to determine the appropriate intraocular lens for you.
The IOL that your doctor chooses for you will also depend on a discussion about your lifestyle. Some premium intraocular devices enhance vision over a certain distance, or night vision, for example.

Premium Cataract Lenses in 2026: Multifocal, Trifocal & EDOF Options Explained
Cataract surgery in 2026 offers more than just clearer vision—it gives you the chance to reduce your dependence on glasses for everyday activities. Premium cataract lenses (also called premium IOLs) go beyond standard monofocal lenses, which typically correct vision at just one distance. The three main premium options are multifocal lenses, which sharpen both near and distance vision; trifocal lenses, the newest generation, which cover near, intermediate (like computer distance), and far ranges; and extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses, which provide a smooth, continuous range of vision especially well-suited to distance and intermediate tasks. Each type has its own strengths and tradeoffs, and the right choice depends on your lifestyle, hobbies, and visual goals.
At Tylock Nasser Vision, premium lenses aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Our team uses advanced diagnostics to evaluate your eye health, corneal shape, and daily needs—whether you’re a frequent night driver, an avid reader, a screen-heavy professional, or an outdoor enthusiast—to recommend the lens that best fits your life. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through each option, set realistic expectations, and help you and your surgeon decide together which lens makes the most sense for you.
