June is Cataract Awareness Month, a great time to learn about one of the most common causes of vision changes as we age. A cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or distorted vision.
Know the signs:
✔️Blurry or cloudy vision
✔️Glare or difficulty seeing at night
✔️Double vision
✔️Colors appearing dull or yellow
✔️Needing brighter light to read
While cataracts are most often age-related, factors like UV exposure, smoking, diabetes, and eye injuries can also increase your risk.
The good news? Cataracts are highly treatable, and advanced outpatient procedures at OU Health Dean McGee Eye Institute can restore clearer vision, sometimes even reducing dependence on glasses.
