Cataract Diagnosis & Co-Management

Cataracts happen when the natural lens of your eye gets cloudy, leading to blurry or distorted vision. This 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 changes in your vision such as glare sensitivity or trouble reading fine print, it’s important to schedule an eye exam with us. 

Treatment for cataracts

Our experienced eye doctors 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 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 to monitor your progress.
