Cataract Surgery Can Help You See Again!

Do you suffer from cataracts?

Feel like you're too young to have cataracts, but your doctor wants you to be tested?

Here is some helpful information on what cataracts are and the options available today for living cataract free:

• A cataract is a clouding (usually gradual) of the eye's natural lens. Most adults over age 60 have symptoms of cataracts, but they can effect adults as young as 55 or younger.
  
• A cataract can be the reason sharp images become blurred, or seeing things at night is more difficult. It may also be why the eyeglasses or contact lenses that used to help you read, or do other simple tasks, no longer seem to help.

More than a million cataract operations will be performed nationwide this year alone. What are the symptoms of a cataract? Because the cloudy lens allows less light to reach the retina, distance and/or reading vision is often fuzzy and indistinct through the affected eye.

Other key symptoms of cataracts:

• Difficulty reading small print such as the newspaper
• Difficulty driving, especially at night
• Annoying glare from sunlight and or car headlights
• Cloudy or hazy vision
• Diminished color perception
