Cataracts

Are you experiencing glare and halos at night?  If so, you may be developing cataracts.  A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye that focuses light on the retina resulting in symptoms such as the following:

  • Difficulty Reading
  • Difficulty seeing street signs
  • Failure of the driver's visual exam
  • Night blindness with oncoming headlights
  • Hazy Vision
  • Halos around lights
  • Glare

Luckily, vision loss with cataracts is preventable with cataract surgery.  The most commonly performed operation in the world is cataract surgery with nearly 2.7 million procedures performed annually. (National Institute of Health)  Upon the competion of this simple, outpatient procedure that can take less than 10 minutes per eye, sight is restored quickly and the patient can return home within a couple hours.

To determine if cataract surgery is an option for you, schedule an eye exam at Caruso Eye Care.
