Cataracts

Many people say that their vision with cataracts is similar to the effect of looking through a dirty car windshield.

As a cataract slowly begins to develop, you may not notice any changes in your vision at first. But as the cataract progresses, you may begin to find that it interferes with your daily activities. At Berke Eye Care, a complete eye exam will determine whether cataract, or another problem, is the cause of your vision loss.
 
While cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss, especially as we age, they are treatable with cataract surgery.

Since most cataracts are part of the normal aging process, they cannot be reversed. There are no medications or eye drops that will make cataracts go away—surgery is the only treatment.

A cataract may not need to be removed right away if your lifestyle isn’t significantly affected. In some cases, simply changing your eyeglass prescription may help to improve your vision. Contrary to popular belief, a cataract does not have to be “ripe” to be removed. However, once you are diagnosed with a cataract, regular appointments at Berke Eye Care will ensure that your vision is monitored for any changes.
