Summary Comprehensive Ophthalmology - Cataract
Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurred vision, dull colors, and increased sensitivity to glare. Common in older adults, they develop gradually and can affect one or both eyes. Causes include aging, UV exposure, diabetes, and smoking. Treatment involves surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one. It's a safe and effective procedure, often restoring clear vision and improving quality of life significantly. Regular eye exams help in early detection and management of cataracts.
