Mayo Clinic Talks 680: Innovations and New Options for Cataract Surgery

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. 

Guest: Ruti Sella Svetlit, M.D.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment, especially among older adults. While cataract surgery has been available for many decades, it has evolved significantly over the last several years. Patients now have multiple lens options which can give them a variety of benefits. How has cataract surgery changed over time? What are some of the new, current lens options available? What can patients expect from them and are all individuals with cataracts candidates for these new options? In today’s podcast, we’ll explore how cataract surgery has changed, and which patients may benefit the most from this newer technology as we discuss “Innovations and New Options for Cataract Surgery” with my guest, Dr. Ruti Sella Svetlit, M.D., an ophthalmology surgeon from the Mayo Clinic.
