Cataracts happen when the clear lens inside your eye becomes cloudy. This can make your vision look blurry, hazy, or less clear than it used to be.
Cataracts are common as we get older, but they can also develop for other reasons. Regular eye exams can help Dr. Van check for cataracts and monitor changes in your vision.
What Are the Signs of Cataracts?
Cataracts can develop slowly, so you may not notice changes right away. Common signs include:
- Blurry or cloudy vision
- More trouble seeing at night
- Glare from headlights or bright lights
- Colors that look faded
- Needing brighter light to read
- More frequent changes in your glasses prescription
If these changes are affecting your daily activities, an eye exam can help determine what is causing them.
How Are Cataracts Found?
During an eye exam, Dr. Van checks the health of your eyes and looks for signs of cataracts. He can also check whether your vision changes may be related to cataracts or another eye condition.
If cataract surgery becomes necessary, Dr. Van can help coordinate care with an eye surgeon and provide pre- and post-surgery eye care.
