A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye that affects vision. Most cataracts are age-related but can occur prematurely from genetics, trauma or disease states like diabetes or steroid use. Cataracts are very common in older people and are the number one cause of reversible vision problems in the elderly. By age 80, more than 50% of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery.
The operation takes under 10 minutes and is done as an outpatient in a local surgery center. The retinal layer of the eye is a patchwork of millions of light-sensitive cells called rods and cones, as well as other nerve cells that receive and organize visual information. Your retina sends this information to the brain through your optic nerve and the brain deciphers and translates this information into our ability to see.
We are committed to stop or slow the progression and preserve, improve or cure the underlying problem. LASIK is the most commonly performed laser eye surgery to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
