Cataracts

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye that occurs slowly as we age. Cataracts are an incredibly common occurrence, the majority of Americans have a visually significant cataract or have had cataract surgery by age 80. Cataracts can form in one or both eyes and can cause blurry vision. The symptoms of cataract can include blurry or hazy vision that cannot be improved with glasses, poor night vision, glare and/or halo at night, difficulty reading and yellowing of the vision.
When a cataract is causing vision loss that decreases the quality of life for a patient, many opt to regain their vision with cataract surgery.
