Talk to an ICON Eyecare surgeon about your lifestyle needs and vision goals to better understand your options.
I believe that this clinic has world class medicine. They have the latest equipment for eye exams. I was VERY pleased with the care I got. What a pleasant surprise to find the best doctor in the state right here in Grand Junction.
I had a great experience at ICON eyecare, the staff was super kind and helpful, not to say patient. Dr. Fox was awesome, he and staff made sure I was comfortable, which I am very thankful for. I have 20/20 vision again! I’ll always recommend friends and family to Dr. Fox.
I didn’t realize just how poor my vision had become. I put off getting cataract surgery for a couple of years. I should have done it sooner. Everyone at Icon was kind and professional. The surgery was a breeze. My vision now is like going from 1970’s tv to todays latest HD technology.
A cataract is a progressive medical condition that causes the natural lens in your eye to become increasingly cloudy, impairing your vision. Just as the lenses in a pair of glasses can get smudged or pick up fingerprints, the lens in our eye becomes cloudy as we get older, suffer serious eye injury, or have certain medical conditions.
One of the most common symptoms of cataracts is blurred or cloudy vision and difficulty seeing at night.
The team of experts at ICON Eyecare is highly trained and expertly skilled in using the latest cataract surgical equipment and technology, including advanced cataract lens implants and ORA testing to ensure patient safety, comfort, and high-quality results.

There are several treatment options available with cataract surgery. With standard IOL, vision is clear but you may still need reading glasses or contact lenses as were needed before cataracts. Premium intraocular lenses greatly reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eyewear. Consult with your eye doctor on your vision goals to find the best fit for you.
Modern medicine is not yet able to reverse or prevent cataract development. Once cataracts are present, the only way to regain clear vision is to undergo cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery is not painful. Cataract patients typically experience a little eye pressure during the procedure, but eye drops are given to numb the eye prior.
Yes. As we age, the lenses of our eyes grow thicker and become cloudy, forming cataracts.
The recovery period from cataract eye surgery typically takes about four weeks. Immediately after your surgery, your vision will be blurry as a result of your eye adjusting to the replacement lens. During the first several days of the recovery process, you will be asked to wear a protective shield at night to prevent you from rubbing your eyes in your sleep.
As your eyes are healing, you should avoid lifting heavy objects and bending over at the waist. Hold off on driving until you get your doctor’s permission to do so. If you experience severe pain or don’t believe your recovery is progressing on schedule, contact your eye care specialist immediately.
