Cataract Co-management

Cataracts is a common eye condition in seniors that causes blurred or cloudy vision. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, contact The Family Eye Site for a checkup. Our Pembroke Pines, FL eye doctor can detect the presence of cataracts during an eye exam. If you have cataracts, we’ll provide cataract co-management services to help you manage your symptoms.

How Cataracts Develop

Cataracts often take years to grow, making this condition more common among seniors. As you age, the tissue around the lens of your eye may start to deteriorate and clump together. These clumps of tissue become cataracts which form a cloud over the lens of your eye. Cataracts prevent light from entering your eye to provide clear images. As a result, you experience blurred vision. Age-related cataracts can’t be prevented altogether. The symptoms can, however, be delayed by taking good care of your health and protecting your eyes.

Effects of Cataracts

In the early stages of cataracts, most people experience no symptoms. As cataracts grow, however, they cloud your vision and impair your sight. Our eye doctor may recommend prescription glasses in the early stages of cataracts to keep up with the changes in your sight. We’ll also monitor your condition through routine optical care. Regular optical care is particularly important if you have co-existing health issues like diabetes or other eye conditions.

Cataract Symptoms

Blurred vision is one of the most prominent symptoms of cataracts. Other symptoms include loss of night vision, sensitivity to light, appearance of halos around lights, fading of colors, and the need to change glasses often to enjoy good sight. When your cataracts impair your vision to the extent that they disrupt your lifestyle, our optometry specialist may recommend cataract surgery.

What to Expect from Cataract Surgery

At The Family Eye Site, we offer pre- and post-op care for cataract surgery. We’ll test your eye health and vision to see if you’re a good candidate for this procedure. If so, we’ll recommend an experienced eye surgeon to perform the surgery.

Cataract surgery is an out-patient procedure performed in an optical office or clinic. It entails removing the clouded lens of your eye and implanting a clear, artificial lens in its place to restore your vision. After your surgery, we’ll follow up on your recovery to ensure you heal properly. We’ll also continue testing your eye health and vision to evaluate the success of your procedure.
