Cataracts are a common age-related condition where the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This cloudiness can interfere with vision, making it harder to see clearly, especially at night or in bright light.
● Wearing sunglasses with UV protection
● Avoiding smoking
● Maintaining a healthy diet
● Managing health conditions like diabetes
● Attending regular eye exams
In the early stages, vision may be improved with glasses or brighter lighting. As cataracts progress, vision cannot always be improved with a new glasses prescription and surgery may be the only effective treatment.
Cataract surgery is safe, routine, and highly effective at restoring clear vision. It is the most common (and most successful) surgery in the world.
● Early detection is beneficial if cataracts are developing
● Always let us know if anything changes suddenly or worsens
● We will check for changes in your lens/ cataract during future eye exams
