Cataracts

Cataracts do not have to change your life! They are a normal part of aging and can be treated. People regain most or all vision, and continue to do things they love to do. A cataract is a gradual clouding of the clear lens in the eye which results in a blurry or hazy image, and a sensitivity to light.

To correct it, an ophthalmic surgeon removes the damaged lens and replaces it with a clear, artificial one. Surgery is short, and you can go home the same day and resume normal activities shortly after. Speak to your eye doctor to see what you have to look forward to!
