Bringing Incredible Vision to Tarrant County for 29 years
Almost everyone will develop cataract formations as they grow older. More than half of the people over the age of 60, in fact, suffer from cataracts that can occur at different rates and affect one or both eyes.
A cataract is the progressive clouding of the eye's natural lens. It occurs naturally due to the aging process, but can also be the result of other contributing factors that cause proteins in the eye's lens to join together and form cloudy areas. During the earliest stages, cataracts may not affect vision. Over time, however, cataracts typically result in blurred or fuzzy vision, loss of color saturation, sensitivity to light and an overall loss of vision quality.
You are at risk for cataracts if you are over the age of 60, have suffered from eye trauma, have diabetes, glaucoma, or certain metabolic conditions. You are also at risk for cataracts if others in your family have them, if you have taken certain medications (including the long-term use of steroids), or have been exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
The doctors and surgeons at Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center can perform a contrast sensitivity test to determine how much your vision has been affected by cataracts. The clearest indication that you should strongly consider cataract treatment, however, is when decreased vision affects your everyday activities or hobbies.
