My first cataract replacement went very smoothly, and the results have been great. Everyone in the surgery center was so nice, and they reviewed instructions for the days and weeks ahead, which gave me confidence regarding what to expect. This was a very painless and quick procedure.

Restore Your Vision

We are dedicated to helping you achieve a brighter, clearer future through advanced cataract surgery.

Serving Prescott, Prescott Valley and Chino Valley since 1950

Your vision is part of every moment that matters—watching the Arizona sunrise, seeing your grandchild’s first drawing, and driving confidently across town. But when cataracts cloud those moments, life can feel out of focus. 

At M&M Eye Institute, we provide personalized cataract solutions that restore clarity and renew freedom. We’re here to help you see life clearly again because your vision deserves nothing less.

What Is a Cataract?

A cataract is an age-related condition where your eye's natural lens gradually becomes cloudy, dimming the vivid details of life. It all begins with subtle changes—a slight haze or glare—that over time can make daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing loved ones increasingly challenging.

Contributing factors such as sunlight exposure, smoking, and health conditions like diabetes can accelerate this process. By addressing cataracts early, you protect your independence and ensure that every moment shines clearly.

Wow, if you need cataract surgery, Dr Scott Markam is the greatest! First day after surgery, I’m seeing 20/20 and everything is so clear and colorful. 13 minutes start to finish, and I’ve had no pain or discomfort.

Have you stopped doing the things you love because cataracts impair your vision? After cataract surgery, you can expect the cloudiness and blurriness to be reduced, leading to clearer vision. However, what if you could enhance the outcome and reduce your dependency on glasses or contact lenses? In today’s modern world, people stay updated with technology for their phones, computers, cameras, and so much more. Why wouldn’t you want to do the same regarding your eyesight and seeing clearly?

Explore Your Lens Options

Choosing the right lens implant can transform more than just your sight. Our range of advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) addresses multiple vision needs:

Monofocal

Extended Focus Lens

Toric

A basic lens that will allow you to receive clarity in a single field of vision with glasses.

High-performance lenses tailored to support an active lifestyle, from hobbies to daily activities, offer vision transitions between distances. TORIC versions are available.

Advanced lens technology aims to correct astigmatism, providing a more balanced and stable field of vision for one range of vision.

Light Adjustable Lens

Provides the highest degree of precision. After your eye has fully healed, you can adjust your vision after cataract surgery until your prescription is right for you.

How Much Does Cataract Surgery Cost?

The type of lens you choose is one of the biggest factors in determining your cataract surgery cost. Your out-of-pocket cataract surgery cost depends on your insurance, deductible, and co-pay. Schedule a FREE Cataract consult so we can help you look at your coverage options.

Enjoy Clear, Lasting Vision

Most people heal from cataract surgery within eight weeks, and some patients recover in as little as four weeks. Any soreness and discomfort from the procedure should disappear within a few days. You may also experience blurry vision at the beginning of the recovery period as your eye heals from the surgery.

Dropless cataract surgery is available to most patients considering traditional cataract surgery, except for those with glaucoma, a history of a reaction to steroids, or a high risk of inflammation. An eye surgeon can tell you more about the procedure and decide if you are a candidate for dropless cataract surgery.

Recovery from Cataract Surgery

Does Cataract Surgery Hurt?

Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures performed today. It typically takes 15–20 minutes per eye, and most patients are surprised by how quick and easy the experience is.

The procedure is safe and effective, with minimal discomfort. Most people report that it was far more comfortable than expected, and any mild irritation afterward usually fades within a day or two.
