Cataracts Diagnosis
& Co-Management

Cataracts are a common condition that many people experience as they age. Over time, the clear lens of your eye becomes cloudy, making everyday tasks like reading or driving more challenging. Cataracts often develop slowly, but they can also occur immediately after an eye injury (known as a traumatic cataract). During your comprehensive eye exam, our eye doctor will check for early signs of cataracts, allowing us to monitor their progression and discuss treatment options before your vision is significantly affected.

Cataract surgery is the only way to remove a cataract, but it isn’t always necessary right away—or at all in some cases. If cataracts are affecting your vision but not disrupting your day-to-day life, our eye doctor might recommend other solutions first. A new glasses or contact lens prescription could improve your vision without needing surgery. You can also try using brighter lighting or magnifying tools to help with reading and other activities. If you’re experiencing light sensitivity, anti-glare sunglasses can offer relief. 

As your cataracts progress, we will keep a close watch on your condition and help you decide if surgery is necessary. If surgery is required, our team will refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist and continue to support you with follow-up care after your procedure to ensure everything is healing properly.
