In a normal eye, light rays pass through a clear lens and are focused onto the retina to produce a bright clear image.
As our body ages, the lens continue to grow and harden thereby losing its transparency.
This results in dull, cloudy, or blurred vision.
This condition, known as an age-related cataract, is normal and occurs eventually to most people.
If the clouding is mild or affects only a small area of the lens, the vision may be hindered only slightly.
If the clouding is extensive and affects the entire lens, the vision will become severely limited.

Cataract surgery is one of the most successful operations in all of medicine.
An intraocular lens is made of special plastics and implanted within the eye after the cataract is removed to help focus light images.
During your exam, Dr. Brame will discuss the various cataract lens options that fit your lifestyle and visual needs.
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) replace your cataract, or cloudy lens.
If you have certain eye diseases or problems which prevent safe placement of an IOL, you will need either contact lenses or cataract glasses in order to see clearly after surgery.

Eye disease can strike at any age.
Many eye diseases do not cause symptoms until the disease has progressed and even caused permanent damage.
Since most blindness is preventable, if diagnosed and treated early, regular medical examinations by an ophthalmologist are very important.
Why an ophthalmologist?
Because an ophthalmologist (MD) provides TOTAL eye care, i.e, medical, surgical and optical.
A medical doctor is able to consider the patient's medical history, their current medical condition, and any associated eye problems to arrive at the specific diagnosis and the optimum treatment to correct the issue.
