Cataracts

Cataracts

Cataracts are a common condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to a decrease in vision. They are most often related to aging but can result from other factors. At our clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating cataracts, focusing on restoring clear vision and improving the quality of life for our patients.

What are the symptoms of cataracts?

Common symptoms include blurry vision, difficulty with night vision, sensitivity to light and glare, and seeing “halos” around lights.

Recovery varies, but most people can resume normal activities within a few days. Full recovery and stabilization of vision may take a few weeks.
