Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye, typically clear, becomes foggy

While common in older adults, cataracts can occur at any age due to various factors, including health conditions and injuries. Lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive sun exposure, and certain medical conditions like diabetes can accelerate their formation.

Most people resume normal activities within a few days post-surgery, but full healing can take several weeks.

The signs of cataracts are gradual but progressively noticeable. They include blurred or dim vision, difficulty with night vision, sensitivity to light and glare, seeing 'halos' around lights, fading or yellowing of colors, and a frequent need for changes in prescription glasses.

Treatment for cataracts depends on the severity of the condition. In early stages, prescription glasses can help, but as cataracts progress, surgery may become necessary. We specialize in advanced cataract surgery techniques that are safe and effective, offering you clearer vision with minimal downtime.

While cataracts can't always be prevented, certain practices can reduce your risk. These include regular eye exams, wearing sunglasses to protect against UV rays, managing health conditions like diabetes, and maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants.
