At Clariti Advanced Vision Correction, we understand how important your vision is to your daily life. If you’ve been diagnosed with cataracts or are experiencing symptoms like blurry vision, it can be difficult to navigate your options. Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure that can restore clarity and improve your quality of life, and we’re here to explain everything you need to know about it.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what cataracts are, the symptoms to watch for, treatment options, and who would benefit from cataract surgery. We’ll also address some frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision about your eye health.
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in your eye, which is located behind the iris (the colored part of your eye) and the pupil. Your lens works like a camera lens to focus light onto the retina at the back of your eye, helping you see clearly. When cataracts form, they cause the lens to become cloudy, which results in blurred or distorted vision.
Cataracts develop gradually and are a common part of the aging process. However, they can also be caused by factors such as trauma, certain medications (like steroids), and medical conditions like diabetes. In some cases, cataracts can form as a result of genetics or be present from birth, but most commonly, they develop as we get older.
Cataract Symptom Checker
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with an eye care professional, like Dr. Drew B. Davis at Clariti Advanced Vision Correction, who can help determine whether cataracts are the cause and discuss treatment options.
Common Symptoms of Cataracts
If you have a cataract, you might notice changes in your vision over time. Common symptoms of cataracts include:
- Blurry or cloudy vision: Objects may seem out of focus, and your overall vision might feel hazy.
- Difficulty seeing at night: You may notice that you have more trouble seeing in low-light conditions, such as while driving at night. Glare from headlights can also become more bothersome.
- Increased sensitivity to light: You may become more sensitive to sunlight or artificial light, with halos or glares appearing around bright lights.
- Fading or yellowing of colors: Cataracts can make colors appear less vibrant or cause them to have a yellowish tint.
- Double vision: Some people experience double vision in one eye, which may also be a sign of a cataract.
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription: If you notice that your prescription for glasses or contact lenses seems to change more frequently than usual, cataracts may be the cause.
