When you reach the point that cataracts begin to interfere with your daily activities, you should discuss cataract surgery with your eye doctor. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial Intra-Ocular Lens (IOL) to achieve clear vision. The procedure only takes a few minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis with local or "eye drop" anesthesia. Cataract surgery is a gentle, no-stitch procedure which is safe and effective.

Subsequently, dry eye may lead to potential cornea scarring and other serious eye damage. Dry Eye may seem counter intuitive to those who experience excessive watering or tearing of the eyes. In other words, it's a common misconception that if your eyes water, you could not have dry eye. However, watering of the eyes is a symptom of dry eye.
