What are cataracts?
Cataracts are a natural part of aging. They develop when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Without treatment, cataracts can significantly impair daily activities.
Embrace a clearer life with advanced cataract surgery.
Do You Need Cataract Surgery?
Everybody gets cataracts over time. It is normal to have some degree of cataract after age 50. However, if cataracts disrupt your ability to read, drive, or enjoy life’s moments, it may be time to consider surgery. Common symptoms include:
- Progressively blurry or cloudy vision over time.
- Trouble seeing at night or in dim light.
- Problems with light and glare sensitivty, especially with headlights and streetlights.
- Dulling or yellowing of colors – things aren’t as bright and white as they used to be.
Fortunately, cataract surgery will help improve your vision if you are having problems like this! Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery in the country. Subsequently, cataract surgery is an extremely safe procedure despite the profoundly positive impact on your life.
