About Us
read moreA cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. Cataract development is a natural aging process, though sometimes cataract progression is accelerated by various factors. If cataract development begins to significantly affect your vision, sometimes a change in your glasses prescription can improve your vision enough that surgery could be delayed. In most cases, it is also fine to "just live with" the visual symptoms from cataracts. Surgery may be considered when a change in your glasses prescription will not likely improve your vision, and you feel debilitated with your present level of visual function.
