June is Cataract Awareness Month - let's talk about exactly what they are, and what we can do to help.
A cataract is simply a clouding of the lens inside your eye. It's a normal part of getting older, and it's incredibly common - most of us will develop one to some degree if we live long enough.
The thing to know is that cataracts usually develop slowly. You might notice colours looking a little duller, lights seeming a bit glarey at night, or a general sense that your vision isn't as crisp as it used to be, even with your current glasses.
None of that is cause for panic. It's just worth knowing what to look out for.
A routine eye test is exactly where cataracts get picked up - often before you've really noticed anything yourself. We'll keep an eye on things over time and talk you through everything clearly, with no rush.
So if you're already due an eye test, that's all it takes - we'll check as part of your usual appointment.
And if you've noticed any changes and you're at all concerned, you don't need to wait for a reminder. You're very welcome to book in whenever suits you.
