Cataracts are cloudy areas that form on the lens of your eye. Your lens is a clear, flexible structure made mostly of proteins (crystallins). As you get older, the proteins in your lens break down, forming cloudy patches that affect your vision.
You may feel as if you’re looking at the world through a dirty window. Over time, your vision gets worse. You may have a hard time carrying out routine tasks.
Healthcare providers consider cataracts an inevitable part of aging, and age-related cataracts is the most common form of the condition.
But you don’t have to live with fading vision. Our Ophthalmologists here at Clarity Eye Center can do surgery to remove the cataracts and restore your vision.
