What is Cataract Surgery?

Top Eye Cataract Surgeons in Fort MyersCataract surgery involves surgically implanting an artificial lens known as an intraocular lens to replace the natural lens of your eye. This is done because the natural lens has become cloudy due to proteins clumping together.

What Happens if You Leave Cataracts Untreated for Too Long

Cataracts can progress and, if left untreated, can lead to serious vision problems. If they are left unchecked long enough, they can even lead to total blindness. The longer you wait to treat your cataracts, the more difficult their removal can become. This may also invite unnecessary surgical complications.

If you are unsure whether or not you actually have cataracts, here are some of the symptoms that you should look out for. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact a medical professional as soon as possible.

  • Glare from bright lights (sunlight, lamps, headlights)
  • Colors seem faded
  • Blurry or cloudy vision
  • Multiple images or double vision in one eye
  • Frequent prescription changes
  • Poor night vision
