$Call Office Physician's Approach:
Cataracts are a normal part of growing older; about half of Americans older than 65 have some degree of clouding of the lens. Last year approximately 2.7 million Americans underwent cataract surgery. A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. The cloudiness keeps light from entering the eye properly which reduces the quality of vision. In addition to age, cigarette smoking and exposure to the sun's UV rays can increase the risk of developing cataracts. Ideal Candidate:
Severe vision changes due to cataract
