"When is the right time for cataract surgery?"

It's a question many of our patients ask, and the answer isn't a number on a vision test. The right time is when cataracts start interfering with the life you love to live.

Our surgeons generally recommend considering surgery when you start to notice:

✔️ Driving is uncomfortable or unsafe, especially at night due to glare.
✔️ Reading and close work require more and more light.
✔️ Hobbies you enjoy, like golf, tennis, or crafts, are becoming difficult.
✔️ Your glasses prescription no longer seems to provide clear vision.

Waiting is perfectly fine for mild cataracts, but waiting too long can make the procedure more complex. We created a comprehensive guide to help you understand the signs and think about the timing with your surgeon.

Not sure if it's time for cataract surgery? Learn the signs that indicate surgery is appropriate, why waiting too long can be risky, and how to plan your timing.

What really causes cataracts? While most people know that age is the biggest factor, many are surprised to learn about the other risks that can significantly accelerate cataract development.

Since cataracts are the leading cause of reversible vision loss worldwide, understanding your personal risk is the first step toward protecting your long-term vision. Here are the most common causes our surgeons discuss with patients:

𝗔𝗴𝗲: The #1 cause. More than half of all Americans have cataracts by the time they are 80 years old as the proteins in the eye's lens naturally change over time.

𝗨𝗩 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: This is a major factor here in Texas. Lifelong, unprotected sun exposure causes cumulative and irreversible damage to the lens, speeding up clouding.

𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: A significant and controllable risk. Smokers are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop cataracts than non-smokers due to the toxic damage to the lens.

𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 & 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿: Uncontrolled blood sugar can cause chemical changes within the lens, often leading to earlier and more rapid cataract formation.

The good news? While you can't stop aging, some of these risks are manageable. In our new, comprehensive guide, we cover all the risk factors in detail and provide a full list of prevention strategies to help you slow progression.

Cataracts can affect people of all ages, although they occur the most often in people aged 65 and up. The condition usually occurs in both eyes, but they often form at different rates.

It's the #1 question we hear from patients diagnosed with cataracts: "Is there any way to get rid of them without surgery?"

With so much misinformation online, it's easy to get confused. Let's clear it up: No, there are currently no eye drops, vitamins, or medications that can dissolve or reverse cataracts. The only proven treatment is surgery.

But that doesn't mean surgery is always urgent. In our new guide, we explain:

✔️ The practical ways you can manage early cataracts to maintain your quality of life.
✔️ Why "miracle cure" products are not FDA-approved and should be avoided.
✔️ How to know when it's the right time to consider surgery.

If you or a loved one is navigating a cataract diagnosis, this is a must-read.

Parents, does it feel like your child needs a stronger prescription every time they visit the eye doctor? 👓🛑

We used to think this was just a normal part of childhood. But today, we know that standard glasses only mask the problem—they don't stop your child's nearsightedness (myopia) from getting worse.

In this quick video, Dr. Skidmore introduces 𝗠𝘆𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹. These are actual, proven medical treatments that correct your child's vision AND slow the growth of their eye.

At Berkeley Eye Center, we offer custom treatment plans including:
✔️ Specialized daily contact lenses
✔️ Overnight Ortho-K lenses
✔️ Simple nighttime eye drops
✔️ Advanced myopia control glasses

By slowing their vision loss now, we are actively preventing major, sight-threatening eye diseases later in life.

Don't just wait for their vision to get worse. Click the link below to learn more about our Myopia Control Program and schedule an evaluation with our pediatric team today!
