Cataract

If you experience a clouding in your vision, it could be cataracts. This is perfectly normal and, in the majority of cases, easily treated with little or no discomfort. As cataract treatment advances, Eye Consultants of Texas is advancing with it.

 

WHAT ARE CATARACTS?

Cataracts form when the naturally clear lens inside of the eye begins to opacify or "fog up,"" as protein builds up on the natural lens. This clear lens is responsible for letting light into the eye and refracting it onto the retina. As a cataract forms on the lens, light is no longer able to get into the eye, resulting in blurry vision. When left to progress, a cataract can generally cause blindness. Millions of Americans are affected by cataracts each day. Luckily, cataract surgery is extremely effective, quick and safe. In many cases, patients experience the best vision of their lives shortly after surgery.

Cataract Symptoms

Cataracts develop very slowly over a course of years. They may not be noticeable at first. Many people think they just need a new prescription, when in reality their blurry vision is a result of cataract development.

Most of the time, our doctors are able to diagnose cataracts before the patients even see a difference in vision (a good reason to attend eye examinations regularly!). If you experience any of these symptoms, you may be developing cataracts:

What Should I Do if I Have a Cataract?

Cataracts often progress very slowly. Many people have early-stage cataracts for years before they need surgery. It's important to take care of yourself in the early stages of cataracts:

  • Wear good quality sunglasses to protect the eyes from damaging UV rays. This may actually slow down the growth of the cataract
  • Have a comprehensive eye examination with dilating drops every year if you're over the age of 65, and every two years if you're under 65
  • If you are having trouble reading, use brighter lights and a magnifier
  • Make sure you have an up to date prescription for your glasses or contacts to ensure safety
  • Quit smoking
  • If you have diabetes, keep your A1C levels under control

How Much Does Cataract Surgery Cost?

Medicare and most other insurances pay for basic cataract surgery if it's considered medically necessary. It's important to contact your insurance company before scheduling surgery. Your doctor may need to submit certain vision measurements to prove medical need before your insurance will approve paying for the surgery. Also, it's good to understand what co-pays and deductibles you may be responsible for.
