Cataract

Cataracts are a common eye condition that affects many people as they age. At Advanced Vision Care in Mansfield, Fort Worth, and DeSoto, Texas, and Cedar Hill Eye Care in Cedar Hill, Texas our eye doctors can diagnose cataracts and help you restore your vision. If surgery is needed, we will refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist and provide follow-up care. 

What are cataracts?  

Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens in the eye, causing blurry and distorted vision. They commonly occur due to aging, but other factors such as family history, eye injuries, and certain medications can increase your risk of developing cataracts. As they grow larger, cataracts affect more of your vision, making it difficult to perform daily tasks such as reading, driving, or even recognizing familiar faces. 

Treatment for cataracts  

If we find cataracts in one or both of your eyes, we’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs. Depending on the severity of your vision loss, we may recommend non-surgical options like prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses to help improve your vision. However, if your cataracts are impacting your vision significantly, we’ll refer you to a trusted surgeon in the area for cataract surgery. We will then schedule follow-up appointments after the procedure to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
