What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a common eye condition where the eye’s lens becomes cloudy, obstructing clear vision. This cloudiness results from a buildup of protein in the lens, making it harder for light to pass clearly through and focus properly on the retina.
Initially, cataracts may cause slight blurriness, like looking through a foggy window, but over time, it can significantly progress and impair visual clarity. This gradual loss of vision can affect daily activities like driving, reading, and recognizing faces. Cataracts are typically age-related but can also result from injury, certain diseases, or long-term exposure to ultraviolet light.
The Benefits of Early Cataract Treatment
Preventing Vision Loss: Diagnosing cataracts early enables better control of the condition, preventing significant deterioration in vision.
Simpler Cataract Surgery: Treatment for cataracts, often via surgery, tends to be less complicated and carries fewer risks when performed in the initial stages.
The Risks of Delaying Surgery: Delaying treatment until cataracts are fully developed can complicate the surgery and extend the recovery period.
Protecting Independence: Proactive treatment of cataracts helps preserve an individual’s independence and overall quality of life by mitigating vision loss’s psychological and social effects.
