 Cataracts

What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens in your eye. This can lead to a decrease in vision, and cataracts are one of the most common causes of blindness worldwide. The cloudy lens can cause different symptoms depending on the type of cataract you have.

What Causes Cataracts?

Many things can cause cataracts, including aging, diabetes, exposure to UV radiation, and smoking. Genetics may also play a role in developing cataracts.

People over the age of 55 are more likely to develop cataracts, but they can occur at any age.

What Are the Symptoms of Cataracts?

The symptoms of cataracts can vary depending on the type of cataract you have. Some common symptoms include blurry vision, glare, halos around lights, and decreased color vision. You may also find it difficult to read or see in low-light conditions.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see an ophthalmologist for a diagnosis. Left untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness.

How Can I Treat My Cataracts?

Cataract treatment usually involves surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one. This surgery is called cataract surgery, and it's a safe and common procedure.

Most people who undergo cataract surgery have an excellent outcome and experience improved vision. In some cases, cataracts may grow back after surgery, but this is rare. Most health insurance plans typically cover cataract surgery.

If you're experiencing any symptoms of cataracts, don't wait to get treatment. See an ophthalmologist today for a diagnosis and the best course of treatment for you.
