Cataract Diagnosis and Co-Management in Central Arkansas
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, resulting in blurry vision and difficulty reading or driving at night. As we get older, proteins in the eye’s lens can clump together, causing this cloudiness and making it harder to see clearly. While cataracts are a natural part of the aging process, they can significantly affect your quality of life if not managed properly. At Eiusmod Eye Care, our eye doctors have extensive experience in diagnosing and managing cataracts to ensure you receive effective treatment.
When is cataract surgery necessary?
Surgery is the only way to remove a cataract, but it isn’t always necessary right away. In the early stages, a simple change in your eyeglass or contact lens prescription may improve your vision significantly. We can also recommend lifestyle changes, such as using brighter lighting when reading or working, wearing sunglasses to reduce glare outdoors, and using magnifying lenses for close-up tasks. As cataracts progress, there may come a time when surgery is the best option to restore your vision. At that point, we will refer you to a surgeon for the procedure and provide post-operative care during follow-up visits.
