What are cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that usually develops slowly with age. You might notice glare, halos around lights, faded colors, or trouble with night driving and small print. Regular eye exams track these changes and help you decide when treatment makes sense.
Symptoms you might notice
Increasing glare or halos at night • Blurry or hazy vision • Colors that look dull • Frequent prescription changes • Needing more light for reading
How we evaluate (what to expect)
Your visit includes a refraction to check prescription changes, a thorough health exam of the lens and retina, and glare/contrast testing when appropriate. We’ll review how symptoms affect daily life and discuss whether continued monitoring or referral is the best next step.
Treatment timeline & options
Early on, many people do well with an updated prescription, better lighting, and anti-glare lenses. When cataracts start limiting driving, reading, work, or hobbies, we’ll discuss surgical options and coordinate your care with a trusted surgeon.

Will I still need glasses after surgery?
It depends on the intraocular lens (IOL) you choose and your eyes. We’ll explain options and set realistic expectations.
Is cataract surgery safe?
It’s one of the most common procedures. Your surgeon will review risks and benefits; we’ll handle prep and follow-up to keep you comfortable and informed.
