June marks National Cataract Awareness Month, and at Tyson Eye, we’re dedicated to educating our community about this common, yet treatable, eye condition. Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in the U.S., but the good news is—modern cataract surgery can restore clear, vibrant sight for most patients.
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. This clouding often happens slowly and can make your vision blurry, hazy, or less colorful over time. Cataracts are most commonly age-related, affecting more than half of Americans over the age of 75.
Common Symptoms of Cataracts
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it could be time for an eye exam:
- Blurry or cloudy vision
- Difficulty seeing at night or in low light
- Increased sensitivity to glare
- Halos around lights
- Faded or yellow colors
- Frequent changes in your eyeglass prescription
How Tyson Eye Can Help
At Tyson Eye, our expert cataract surgeons use advanced diagnostic tools and the latest laser-assisted surgical technology to personalize each procedure. We offer a wide range of premium lens implant options that can reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses after surgery.
Whether you’re considering cataract surgery for the first time or seeking a second opinion, our team will guide you through every step—from the initial consultation to post-surgery follow-up.
Why Early Detection Matters
Cataracts may develop gradually, and symptoms can be subtle at first. That’s why regular eye exams are essential, especially if you’re over 60 or have conditions like diabetes. Early detection can help you preserve your independence, mobility, and quality of life.
