Cataract & IOL Clinic/Service
Experiencing blurred vision? It could be a sign of cataracts, where the eye's lens becomes opaque. Thankfully, cataract surgery is a safe and effective way to restore your vision by replacing the cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens.
Do you have blurred vision? It might be time to see an eye specialist. Cataracts, which occur when the normal eye lens gets opaque, can result in blurred or foggy vision. Fortunately, cataract surgery is a highly successful procedure that removes the clouded lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision.

Causes of Cataract
Aging
As we age, the proteins in the eye's lens naturally break down, leading to cloudiness and the formation of cataracts.
Genetics
Family history can increase the risk of cataracts, especially if your parents or siblings had them at an early age.
Environmental Factors
Exposure to sunlight, smoking, or pollution can contribute to cataract formation by damaging the lens over time.
Medical Conditions
Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and eye injuries can also increase the likelihood of cataracts.
When to Consult an Eye Specialist?
Blurred or Foggy Vision
If you're experiencing blurred or foggy vision, it could be time for an eye examination.
Frequent Changes in Prescription
If you find yourself needing frequent changes in your prescription glasses, cataracts could be the cause.
Halos or Glare
Seeing halos or glare around lights, especially at night, can be a sign of cataracts.
Loss of Peripheral Vision
A decrease in your peripheral vision or a tunnel-like vision can be an indication of cataracts.
Eye Pain or Discomfort
Pain or discomfort in the eyes, along with blurred vision, should prompt a visit to an eye specialist.
Diabetes or Other Health Conditions
If you have diabetes or other health conditions, regular eye check-ups are important to prevent cataracts.
