If you suspect you might have a cataract, it is critical to get immediate medical attention. Rapid changes to your eyesight are also linked to other series conditions, including strokes, brain tumors, and other life-threatening conditions. Routine eye care examinations are vital to maintaining healthy vision. It is especially important to be vigilant of symptoms during June, which is fireworks safety month. Being unable to clearly see what is happening to your fireworks could lead to an accident.
Even though cataracts are common, especially in older adults, they can be fairly simple to treat. If it is a cataract, your doctor can take the necessary steps to treat them and help restore your vision. Modern cataract surgery is safe and effective. More than 3 million are performed annually.
Surgery typically is out-patient and does not require an overnight stay. The cloudy lens is broken up and then removed. It is then replaced with an artificial lens to protect the eyes.
