Cataracts

A cataract is the clouding of the eye's normally clear lens, impairing vision akin to looking through a frosted window. This condition, named after the appearance of a waterfall, makes activities like reading, driving (particularly at night), and discerning facial expressions challenging.

While cataracts typically progress gradually without affecting eyesight initially, over time, they can impede vision. Initially, adjustments like brighter lighting and updated eyeglasses may compensate for these changes. However, if impaired vision starts to disrupt daily activities, cataract surgery may be necessary. The good news is that cataract surgery is a safe, routine, and highly effective procedure.
