Cataract Evaluation & Surgery Questions

If you have a cataract, or are experiencing symptoms of one, you are not alone. Cataracts are considered painless and a normal part of the aging process, which can begin to develop as early as the age of forty. A cataract forms when the eye’s natural clear lens becomes cloudy due to the buildup of proteins. Your lens helps you focus and see things sharply, both up close and far away. The gradual clouding of your eye’s lens obstructs light and may increasingly interfere with your everyday life, restricting the things you do.
