Cataracts at a Glance

Today we will be discussing the anatomy of the eye. It is important to understand the basis of the eye, so that one can tend to it properly. A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. The lens works much like a camera lens, focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens also adjusts the eye's focus, letting us see things clearly both up close and far away. The lens is mostly made of water and protein. The protein is arranged in a precise way that keeps the lens clear and lets light pass through it. For anyone interested in more information on the topic of eyes, make sure to ask you doctor about possible procedures and practices to maintain healthy eyesight.

Can Cataract Surgery Help Me?

A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens in the front of the eye, which is normally clear. There is no pain associated with the condition but there are other symptoms, including:

  • Blurred/hazy vision
  • Spots in front of the eye(s)
  • Sensitivity to glare
  • A feeling of "film" over the eye(s)
Risk factors for developing cataracts include being over 55 years old, eye injury or disease, a family history of cataracts, smoking or use of certain medications.

For people who are significantly affected by cataracts, lens replacement surgery may be recommended. During cataract replacement, the most common surgical procedure in the country, the lens is removed and replaced with an artificial one called an intraocular lens or IOL.

Cataract Surgery Can Be Restore Your Sight!

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

What Are Cataracts?

The lens of the eye, located in the front of the eye, is usually clear. A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens, which literally 'clouds' vision and makes seeing difficult. There is no pain associated with the condition, however there are other symptoms, including:
  • Blurred/hazy/cloudy vision
  • Spots in front of the eye(s)
  • Sensitivity to glare
  • A feeling of "film" over the eye(s)
Risk factors for cataracts develop with age and include eye injury or disease, a family history of cataracts, smoking or use of certain medications.

For people who are significantly affected by cataracts, lens replacement surgery may be recommended. During cataract surgery, the most common surgical procedure in the country, the lens is removed and replaced with an artificial one called an intraocular lens or IOL.
