A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in the eye. A cataract causes images to look dull, keeping us from seeing clear and crisp. It is an eye condition that will develop in everyone if we live long enough. It is possible for cataracts to begin developing between ages 40-50. However, people in their 60′s notice that the cataracts are impacting their vision.
The lens is located behind the iris and pupil. The purpose of the lens is to focus light onto the retina. The lens accommodates when we focus from distance to near and intermediate objects. When you have a cataract, the lens inside the eye becomes cloudy, making it difficult to see clearly.
Cataract is a natural aging process. Everyone will eventually develop a cataract sometime in their life. Cataracts usually develop starting around the age of 55 and on up; however, it is different for everyone. A routine dilated eye exam will help determine if you have a cataract. For more information on this condition or to schedule an eye exam, please contact us at 800-760-4171.

A cataract is generally treated through surgery. The entire cataract procedure takes approximately 5-7 minutes. The surgeon creates a tiny incision on the edge of your cornea and then uses an ultrasound system to break up and remove the cataract. Depending on the type of intraocular lens that is best for you, a standard monofocal or multifocal lens will be inserted in the eye. The monofocal and multifocal lenses have different objectives. To find out more information regarding these lenses and to determine the one that would best fit your needs call 800-760-4171.
