EYE CATARACT TREATMENT IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
Cataracts are one of the most common conditions in the world, affecting over 100 million people globally. It is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens and as a result of this, the patient experiences vision problems.
Eye cataract in Indian River County is not painful and is treatable. Cataracts aren’t formed all of a sudden. They develop over the course of a few years. At first, cataracts may not cause any vision problems. However as they continue to develop, you may start to notice blurry vision that isn’t correctable with a new glasses prescription. Solutions are available; contact our office for information on our cataract treatments in Indian River County.
CAUSES OF CATARACT
Cataracts are among the most common eye problems and are generally associated with aging. A cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye. This happens because as the lens inside of the eye continues to grow over a lifetime, it accumulates more proteins which are unable to shed. Thus, they cause the lens to become cloudier, and light has a harder time passing into the eye.
Untreated, cataracts can lead to difficulty reading, driving or engaging in other day-to-day activities. In severe cases, cataracts can even lead to blindness. The good news is that vision loss related to cataracts is reversible and there are options for cataract treatment at Panacea Eye Center. Almost 25.7 million Americans 40 or older suffer from cataracts, and that number is expected to grow 50% by 2032.
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CATARACT
A physical examination of the eye can tell doctors if a person has cataracts. A reading test and slit lamp test may also be used to diagnose the condition.
Treatment entails cataract surgery. At Panacea Eye Center, we are highly experienced in conducting cataract surgery. We use state-of-the-art technology to provide a painless, quick and safe surgical outcome.
CAN CATARACTS RECUR?
No, cataracts do not come back. This is because, during surgery, the affected part of the natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. This artificial lens cannot develop cataracts.
SYMPTOMS OF CATARACT
- Clouded, fuzzy, or blurry vision
- Sensitivity to lighting
- Poor night vision
- Halo-rings in the line of sight
