Clear Away the Cloudiness and Restore Your Vision
As we age, the clear, natural lens inside our eye slowly changes. Over time, proteins in the lens begin to clump together, turning the lens cloudy, yellow, or opaque. This clouding is known as a cataract.
Cataracts are a very natural part of the aging process—similar to getting gray hair—but they can
slowly make your vision look like you are looking through a dirty, foggy window. At Advanced Eye Institute, we provide comprehensive cataract monitoring and coordinate your path to clear vision through safe, modern cataract surgery.
Common Signs of Cataracts
- Gradual blurring or dimming of your vision
- Difficulty seeing clearly at night
- Increased sensitivity to glare from oncoming headlights or sunlight
- Seeing "halos" around lights
- Fading or yellowing of vibrant colors
- Frequent changes in your eyeglass prescription
How We Manage and Treat Cataracts
In their early stages, cataract symptoms can often be managed simply by updating your eyeglass prescription, using anti-reflective coatings to reduce night glare, or improving reading lights around your home.
However, once cataracts begin to interfere with your ability to drive safely, read comfortably, or enjoy your daily hobbies, the only effective treatment is the surgical removal of the cloudy lens.
