June is Cataract Awareness Month! Cataracts affect over 24 million Americans each year . As we age the natural lens of the eye forms into a cataract causing blurred vision, sensitivity to light, trouble seeing at night and can cause things to appear yellow or dull. This natural change of the eyes begins around the age of 40. Most cataracts progress slowly but there are different types of cataracts and some can progress more quickly in diabetic patients or patients who have been on certain medications.Cataract Surgery is one of the most common surgeries in the world and is recognized as being safe and effective. At The Eye MDs we offer Manual Cataract Surgery and Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery with Advanced Technology Lens to provide the best opportunity to be free from glasses. We are the only practice in our area offering Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery Advanced Technology Lens.
