Cataract

Cataract can affect people of any age

If you’re regularly updating your glasses, struggling with glare or finding it difficult to see in dim light you may have cataract. Cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye that reduces vision. Changes in the lens can occur at any age but most commonly affect those over the age of 40. Surgery is the only effective treatment for cataract. Modern cataract surgery is painless and life changing.

If you have a history of AMD or glaucoma, new surgical devices may improve your cataract surgery outcomes

If you have age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or glaucoma, new surgical devices may improve your outcomes. Devices can be inserted during your cataract surgery to improve near vision for some cases of AMD and help control eye pressure in some cases of glaucoma. Arrange an appointment to discuss options for your cataract surgery that may benefit you.
