Cataracts are a common condition that mainly affects older people. According to the National Eye Institute, by age 80 most people either have cataracts or had surgery to treat the condition.

LASIK is a type of laser refractive surgery that’s used to treat shortsightedness, longsightedness, and astigmatism.

Cataracts cause a clouding of the natural lens of the eye (or eyes) leading to gradual vision loss.

Cataracts commonly form as we age and, if left unmonitored and untreated, can lead to serious vision problems and even blindness.

Being diagnosed with cataracts and having surgery is an anxious time. It doesn’t matter how many times you’re told that it’s a common condition with millions of surgeries carried out per year—for you, it’s a once (or possibly twice) in a lifetime experience.

Eye care should never be left to chance, and your choice of ophthalmologist and/or cataract eye surgeon should be made with care.
