Cataracts

A Glimpse Into Cataracts – What are they?

Cataracts occur when there is a clouding of your eye’s natural lens. Most people correlate cataracts with aging, but they are sometimes proven to be derived from other factors. They are the result of protein buildup that clouds the lens and leads to:

Blurry vision
Difficulty with glare
Dulled colors
Poor night vision
Increased nearsightedness (myopia)

Diagnosing Cataracts

A device called a slit lamp will be used during your eye exam to determine if you have a cataract. The slit lamp allows the doctor to observe if there are any clouded spots or yellowing of the lens. Things to be aware of:

Cataracts do not affect everyone in the same way
Cloudy areas that develop can start small and grow over time
Location of the cloudiness plays a factor in the severity of the cataract

Treating Cataracts

When a cataract progresses to the point of impairing your vision, you may need cataract surgery. Cataract surgery consists of the natural lens of the eye being removed and an artificial lens — called an “intraocular lens” or IOL— is then inserted into the eye. There are several types of intraocular lenses available. We will help you determine which is best, based on the health of your eye and your vision goals after surgery.

INTRAOCULAR LENSES (IOLs)

IOLs are FDA-approved artificial lenses that are implanted inside the eye to replace the eye’s natural lens when it is removed during cataract surgery.

There are two main types of IOLs to be considered when selecting a treatment plan: conventional monofocal IOLs and technologically advanced astigmatism-correcting or presbyopia-correcting IOLs.

Cataracts

Cataracts occur when there is a clouding of your eye’s natural lens. Most people correlate cataracts with aging, but they are sometimes proven to be derived from other factors.

Cornea

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped part of the eye and plays a significant role in the focus and clarity of vision.

Glaucoma

The optic nerve carries information from the eye to the brain, so when the optic nerve is impaired, you can lose your vision. The term Glaucoma encompasses a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve.

Neurological Eye Conditions

Our providers diagnose and treat conditions related to the nervous system of the eye.

Oculoplastics

Oculoplastics refers to surgical procedures designed to improve the function and appearance of the eyelids, skin and muscle tissue surrounding the eye, forehead, and face. 

Pediatrics

A child’s first 10 years of life are the most crucial for the development of their visual system. Due to the rapid vision development taking place during childhood, it is very important to detect and treat any vision problems as early as possible.
