What is a Cataract? A cataract is the clouding of the crystalline lens in your eye. This opacity obstructs the passage of light resulting in a reduction of clear vision. Normally, light passes through the clear lens and is focused onto the Retina. However, the natural aging process can cause the lens to become cloudy, or milky. The cataract blocks the passage of light through the eye and causes distorted or blurred vision, glare, or difficulty seeing in poor lighting conditions.
Those over 65 are more prone to develop this type of cataract. More than half of all Americans over the age of 65 will develop a cataract. Diabetics are more prone to develop this type of cataract. Those with diabetes, high hyperopia (Far-sightedness) or retinitis pigmentosa may be at a higher risk to develop this type of cataract.
It is not known why cataracts occur in all instances but studies on the cause of cataracts will soon teach us how to more successfully treat and prevent them.

Regular eye exams are an important tool in eye health for detecting and preventing eye diseases and evaluating the overall health of the patient.
Some diseases, such as glaucoma, develop gradually without symptoms or vision loss, so patients may not notice that anything is wrong until significant and irreversible damage as been done.
Early detection of eye diseases allows for a better choice of treatment options and a reduced risk of permanent damage.
Patients should schedule a comprehensive eye exam every year.
