Understanding Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the natural crystalline lens of the eye. Vision with cataracts can be compaired to looking through a piece of waxed paper or a foggy window. Cataract development is usually a very gradual process of normal aging, but can occasionally occur rapidly. Many people are unaware that they have cataracts because the changes in their vision are so gradual.
Some common symptoms of cataracts may include:
- Painless blurring of vision
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- Double vision in one eye
- Poor night vision
- Fading or yellowing of colors
- Frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescription.
Treatments for Cataracts
Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure in the United States, with over 1.5 million patients having their cataracts removed each year. Cataract surgery is a very safe and effective surgery with a 95% success rate and giving people the ability to see clearly again. At the Texas Eye Institute in Houston, you have the option to upgrade your cataract surgery by choosing premium intraocular lenses (IOLs). These new lenses can reduce or even eliminate your dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
