Correcting Vision Loss Due to Cataracts
Cataracts are a progressive condition that occurs as the proteins in your eye begin to clump. As they grow in size, the eye’s lens will become clouded and your quality of sight will decrease. The development of cataracts is often part of the aging process. For many patients, especially in the earlier stages, corrective eyewear can improve vision. However, if a cataract is significantly affecting your daily activities, cataract surgery is the only treatment option that fully alleviates symptoms by removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. Your doctor can evaluate your condition and provide the best treatment for you.
