Cataracts Awareness Month: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

As we age, our eyes require special care, and cataracts are a common concern. At Wang Vision Institute, we are dedicated to raising awareness about cataracts, their impact on vision, and the advanced treatment options available.

Understanding Cataracts

Cataracts develop gradually over time, causing the eye's natural lens to become cloudy, which leads to blurry and less vibrant vision. This condition is typically age-related but can also result from prolonged UV exposure, diabetes, smoking, and eye trauma. Recognizing the symptoms early is crucial for timely intervention.

Recognizing Symptoms

Cataract symptoms can be subtle initially but worsen over time. Common signs include:

• Cloudy or Blurry Vision: Vision becomes increasingly hazy.
• Faded Colors: Colors appear dull and less vibrant.
• Night Vision Issues: Difficulty seeing in low light or at night.
• Light Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to light and glare.
• Halos Around Lights: Noticing halos around bright lights.
• Double Vision: Experiencing double vision in one or both eyes.

Laser Cataract Surgery: A Breakthrough Treatment

When cataracts begin to affect your daily life, seeking effective treatment is essential. Wang Vision Institute offers cutting-edge laser cataract surgery. This advanced procedure uses a laser to make precise incisions and soften the cataract for safer and gentler removal, providing greater accuracy and reducing the need for traditional manual techniques. This method can also help correct astigmatism.
