Importance of Addressing Cataracts
Understanding Cataracts
- Definition: Cataracts occur when proteins in the lens of the eye clump together, causing cloudiness and interfering with light transmission.
- Risk Factors: Age, family history, certain medical conditions (such as diabetes), prolonged exposure to sunlight, smoking, and certain medications increase the risk of developing cataracts.
- Symptoms: Common symptoms of cataracts include blurry or hazy vision, difficulty seeing at night, increased sensitivity to glare, faded colors, and frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions.
- Treatment Options: Initially, cataract symptoms may be managed with prescription glasses or lifestyle adjustments. However, cataract surgery is the only definitive treatment that replaces the cloudy lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision.
Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery
At KTB Eye Associates, we offer advanced laser-assisted cataract surgery to enhance precision and optimize outcomes for our patients. This minimally invasive procedure utilizes laser technology to perform precise incisions, break up the cataract-affected lens, and assist in the placement of the intraocular lens. Laser-assisted cataract surgery offers numerous benefits, including improved accuracy, reduced risk of complications, faster recovery, and the potential for enhanced visual outcomes.
