👁️ June is Cataract Awareness Month 👁️
Did you know that cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss among older adults? In fact, more than half of all Americans will develop a cataract by age 80.
A cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, preventing light from passing clearly to the retina. As cataracts develop, everyday activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces can become more difficult.
Common symptoms may include:
✨ Blurry or cloudy vision
🌙 Difficulty seeing at night
💡 Increased glare from lights or headlights
🔄 Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions
🌈 Faded colors or halos around lights
While aging is the most common cause, factors such as diabetes, smoking, prolonged UV exposure, eye injuries, and certain medications can also increase your risk.
The good news? Cataracts are highly treatable. When cataracts begin to interfere with your daily life, cataract surgery can help restore clearer vision and improve quality of life. Modern surgical techniques and advanced lens options can often reduce dependence on glasses while helping patients see more clearly than they have in years.
🩺 If you’ve noticed changes in your vision, don’t ignore them. A comprehensive eye exam can determine whether cataracts are affecting your sight and help you explore your treatment options.
