Cataracts

Your vision connects you to the world. Over time, however, it becomes more difficult to see clearly. That’s because the natural crystalline lens inside your eye is becoming larger and harder. This prevents your lens from focusing as it once did and is why you may need glasses or bifocals to read this website right now. The inability to focus, or accommodate, is called presbyopia and its earliest symptom is a difficulty seeing things that are close up.

Your lens will continue to harden, eventually turning cloudy as it becomes a cataract. It’s a natural process that occurs in almost everyone over 50. A cataract can be the reason why sharp images become blurred, bright colors become dull, or your night vision is more difficult. While glasses may help initially, your cataracts will eventually need to be removed. Unfortunately, cataracts can’t be prevented, but removing the cataract and replacing it with an artificial lens can restore your vision and in many ways, significantly improve your quality of life. The time to have your cataracts removed is when the quality of your vision begins to put limits on your activities and enjoyment of life.
