Regaining Clarity
After Cataracts
Cataracts cast a shadow over the lives of more than 24 million Americans aged 40 and older, making it one of the most common eye conditions in the United States. At ReFocus Eye Health, we recognize the profound impact cataracts can have on your vision and your quality of life. With our skilled ophthalmologists and advanced procedures, we can help you regain clarity and live life fully once again.
Understanding Cataracts and Their Impact on Vision
Cataracts are a common eye issue, often linked to aging but not limited to it. They cloud the natural eye lens, leading to a gradual decline in vision. This can make daily activities difficult due to symptoms like blurred vision, sensitivity to glare, and nighttime vision challenges, impacting your visual clarity.
Causes and Contributing Factors
The following factors can increase the likelihood of developing cataracts:
- Aging
- UV radiation
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Family history
- Previous eye injury or inflammation
- Certain medications
- High blood pressure
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Poor nutrition
- Prolonged corticosteroid use
