What Causes Cataracts?
Cataracts develop when proteins in the eye’s natural lens begin to clump together, creating cloudiness that blurs and distorts vision.
Most commonly caused by aging, they can also result from eye injuries, certain medications, or medical conditions like diabetes.
Over time, cataracts worsen—making it harder to drive, read, or recognize faces. Fortunately, cataract surgery is safe, fast, and highly effective.

I drove 3 hours just to have my procedure done and I would do it again if I had to. Best choice I could have made.

How much longer will you spend your time, money, and energy on work-arounds that don’t fix your vision?
Replacing lost or broken glasses
Paying for new prescriptions every year
Dealing with dry, irritating contact lenses
Temporary fixes won't bring permanent clear vision.

How Cataract Removal Works
Cataracts are a leading cause of vision loss after 50, and Parker Cornea treats them by replacing the cloudy natural lens with a clear, artificial lens inside the Vestavia Hills office. Anesthesia is taken by mouth (not IV), so the day is quicker and more comfortable—you can even eat breakfast or lunch and skip the hospital gown.
Your operation is customized to your eye. When appropriate, Parker Cornea can correct astigmatism during surgery—using specialty lenses or surgical techniques to reshape the cornea—to aim for the best possible outcome.
Lens choices include monofocal (sharp vision at one distance), multifocal/extended-depth-of-focus (less dependence on glasses, with possible night glare/halos), and toric options for significant astigmatism.
Most patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours.
"Best eye doctors you will ever find! Had cataract surgery and now have 20/20 vision. Truly thankful for them."
-Elliene J.
"I knew right away he was the man for the job."
