Cataract surgery in Ramsey
As we grow older, our bodies become increasingly susceptible to many kinds of medical conditions. Our eyes and vision can be especially vulnerable. One common eye issue that is much more prevalent over the age of about sixty is the development of cataracts. A cataract is defined as the clouding of the natural lens of your eye, which is located behind the iris (the colored part of your eye) and the pupil. A cataract starts out relatively small, and so it does not impact your vision too much in the early stages of its development. In these early stages, you may notice small changes to your vision like minor blurriness. You may also experience increased sensitivity to light or glare. If you think you might be developing a cataract, you should schedule an appointment here at Wyckoff ophthalmology as soon as possible so that we can confirm a diagnosis. In the earlier stages, changes to your optical prescription, eyeglasses, and contact lenses can mitigate the symptoms you are facing. However, as the condition progresses, the experts here at Wyckoff Ophthalmology are likely to recommend cataract surgery in Ramsey. Fortunately, cataract surgery in Ramsey has had excellent results and is known to be quite safe and effective. The surgery involves the removal of the cloudy lens, and a replacement with an intraocular lens.
