Yes, with age come the “golden years” :) If everyone lives long enough they will get a cataract. In fact some are born with them. Cloudy lens, cracks, breaks, yellowing; all leading to glare, prescription changes and less vision.
- Stop smoking
- Eat right, good nutrition helps ward off the aging process
- Good ocular vitamins (ask us we can help)
- Quality sun protection, UV protection.
Cataract surgery : the most common surgery performed to date.
• 6-12 min for the surgery • Patchless and stitchless • Newer lenses give the ability for up close vision again! • Think of it as replacing the windshield of your car.

Some patients will show 2nd cataract within 3 months to 10 years. The bag the plastic lens is placed into is still living and can sometimes become figures. Here we see the 2nd Cataract.
