Are you in the early stages of developing cataracts. Is your vision becoming blurry and cloudy? If a cataract has impaired your vision it’s time to consider cataract surgery. The good news is that modern da, no-stitch cataract surgery has arrived with state of the art premium lens implants also known as multi-focal lenses.
Understanding cataracts
A cataract is a "clouding" of the eye’s natural lens, which results in blurred or defocused vision. Cataracts are often described as looking through wax paper or cloudy cellophane. According to a recent article published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, more than 20 million adults in the U.S. have developed cataracts making it the number one cause of poor vision in the United States. In most cases cataract surgery is required where the natural lens is replaced with a man made lens often referred to as IOL or intraocular lens. This surgery is highly successful and has been drastically improved over the years.
What causes a cataract?
Cataracts are caused mainly by age, trauma, heredity, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Cataracts can also occur as a result of eye disease, after the use of certain medications, or as a result of medical conditions such as diabetes.
If a cataract is making it difficult for you to carry out your normal activities most doctors may suggest cataract surgery. Even if your regular vision is not affected you might want cataract surgery to remove a cataract that's causing problems. If you live in Florida or more specifically Tallahassee, Florida and suspect you may be developing cataracts please feel free to contact us immediately.
