Patients always ask how to prevent their cataracts from getting worse.

My #1 recommendations are:

1️⃣ Get yearly eye exams 👁👩🏻‍⚕️

2️⃣ Quit smoking. Cigarette/Tobacco smoke has several toxins that make cataracts thicken more quickly.🚭

3️⃣ Always wear UV protection over your eyes: Polarized sunglasses and Transition lenses are great options! 😎

4️⃣ A diet with lots of fruits and veggies will provide your body with the anti-oxidants needed to slow disease progression. Think green leafy veggies 🥬 and vitamin C🍊

Your eye doctor has finally said those 3 little words: “YOU HAVE CATARACTS.”

Did you know there are 4 types of cataracts, all which will cause a gradual decline in vision until surgery is needed.

1. Nuclear Sclerosis: the most common of cataracts. It is the yellowing/thickening of the crystalline lens as a whole.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Cortical Cataracts: thick spokes on the periphery of the lens as a result of aging.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts (PSC): opaque area on the back of the lens, usually in the center of your vision. Common side effect of prolonged steroid use.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Traumatic Cataracts: damage to the lens due to injury, accidents involving the head/eye/face, or occur after a patient has other eye surgeries.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Congenital Cataracts: lens opacities that a person is born with. These cataracts may or may it impair vision at a young age, resulting in surgery at a young age.

Be sure to discuss your diagnosis with your optometrist and know what to expect!

Who run the 🌎.....GIRLS!

If you haven't heard, April is Women's Eye Health Month! Did you know that compared to men, women are more at risk for a number of eye diseases/conditions such as: Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Dry Eye, Thyroid Eye Disease, etc.

Why is this you may ask?

1. Women have an average life expectancy that is longer than men.
2. Several eye conditions are linked to hormone changes associated with birth control, pregnancy: current and post-partum, & menopause.
3. Harmful ingredients in cosmetics, beauty care products, false lashes/lash extensions, and permeant makeup can also lead to harmful eye conditions.

The best way to make sure your eyes are healthy and vision is clear is to see your optometrist YEARLY! We can identify risk factors and eye disease when they first occur, not when it's too late to treat or fix.
