Cataract Surgeons in Green Bay & Wisconsin
Over 50% of people over the age of 60, and quite a few younger than that, suffer from cataracts. In fact, cataracts are so common that it is said that everyone will develop a cataract if they live long enough.
A cataract is a progressive clouding of the eye's natural lens that interferes with light passing through the retina. Sufferers usually describe the condition as being similar to looking through a waterfall, or piece of wax paper, with a gradual blurring or dimming of vision.
Reading may become more difficult and driving a car can actually become dangerous. Cataract sufferers may also be troubled by a bothersome glare, halos around lights, or even double vision. And as the cataract becomes worse, frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions may become necessary.
Currently there are no medical treatments to reverse or prevent the development of cataracts. Once they form, there is only one way to achieve clear vision again, and that is to physically remove the cataract from the eye.
