Cataract Diagnosis & Surgery Co-Management

Cataracts happen when the natural lens of your eye gets cloudy, leading to blurry or distorted vision. They can make it difficult to see clearly and do daily tasks like reading, driving, or working on a computer. While most cataracts are associated with aging, they can also develop due to other factors such as genetics, diabetes, or overexposure to UV radiation.

If you notice vision changes, such as glare sensitivity or trouble reading fine print, our experienced eye doctors can evaluate your condition and discuss cataract treatment options. We provide expert cataract care in Mt. Pleasant, Alma, Carson City, St. Louis, State Street, Calumet, and Oscoda.

Treatment for cataracts

Our skilled optometrists can diagnose cataracts during a comprehensive eye exam and discuss treatment options with you. While glasses and contact lenses can’t directly treat or cure cataracts, updating your prescription may help to temporarily restore your vision. However, as cataracts progress and begin to affect more of your vision, we may refer you to an ophthalmologist for surgery.

Cataract surgery post-op care

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure that involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. If surgery is recommended, we will work closely with skilled ophthalmologists in the area to co-manage your care before and after surgery. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your eyes during the recovery period and schedule follow-up appointments for cataract surgery post-op care.
