A cataract is an eye condition in which the normal lens becomes cloudy and consequently causes vision problems. People who have cataracts see objects as is they’re looking at them through a foggy window. Therefore, it’s more difficult for cataract patients to read, to see an expression on a friend’s face and to drive; especially at night. Patients with cataracts should see a professional eye doctor for diagnosis and a treatment plan, which could involve
98003 eye surgery.
Since most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb vision in the beginning, stronger lighting and eyeglasses may be sufficient. However, because cataracts are progressive, over time they will interfere with vision. If the impaired vision is at the point in which it is interfering with normal everyday activities, the patient may need
98003 eye surgery. Cataracts can be detected during a comprehensive eye exam like many other conditions. If our expert optometrist eye doctor detects any eye disease or condition, you’ll be referred to an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment which typically is cataract surgery once it is advanced enough that it interferes with normal everyday activities such as reading and driving a car.
