Cataract - Quick and Easy Reference

Aging is the most common cause.This is due to normal eye changes that happen starting around age 40.

That is when normal proteins in the lens start to break down.

This is what causes the lens to get cloudy.

People over age 60 usually start to have some clouding of their lenses.

Symptoms of Cataracts

Here are some vision changes you may notice if you have a cataract:

*Having blurry vision

*Seeing double (when you see two images instead of one)

*Being extra sensitive to light

*Having trouble seeing well at night, or needing more light when you read

*Seeing bright colors as faded or yellow instead

*It is like looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield.

Cataract Surgery

Your surgeon will enter into the eye through tiny incisions near the edge of your cornea .

The surgeon uses these incisions to reach the lens in your eye.

Using very small instruments, he or she will break up the lens with the cataract and remove it.

Then your new lens is inserted into place.

Usually your surgeon will not need to stitch the incisions closed.
