CataractsCataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people over age 40, and are the principal cause of blindness in the world. As we age, our natural lenses lose their clarity and result in cloudy vision, often resulting in glare, difficulty seeing at night and problems reading fine print. Cataract surgery should be considered only when they have progressed enough to significantly impair your vision and affect your daily activities. Cataract surgery is a relatively simple, painless procedure and is very successful in restoring vision. Our doctors work closely with your cataract surgeon by providing all the pre and post-operative care to ensure the best visual outcome.

Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration occurs when there are changes to the macula, the small portion of the retina located on the inside back layer of the eye.The most common risk factors associated with macular degeneration include genetics, a history of smoking, poor diet, a light complexion, excessive sun exposure and most recently, evidence related to the visible blue light emitted from electronic devices such as smart phones, computers, tablets and energy efficient LED light bulbs. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe vision loss in adults over age 50. The CDC estimates that 1.8 million people have AMD and another 7.3 million are at substantial risk. Caucasians are at higher risk for developing AMD than other races. Women also develop AMD at an earlier age than men. Some common symptoms are: a gradual loss of ability to see objects clearly, distorted vision, a gradual loss of color vision, and a dark or empty area appearing in the center of vision. If you experience any of these, contact our office immediately.
