Business Description

Cataracts are a common eye condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to impaired vision. This condition typically develops slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Cataracts are most often associated with aging, but they can also result from injury, genetic conditions, or certain medical treatments.

Symptoms of Cataracts:

Blurry or cloudy vision
Increased sensitivity to light and glare
Difficulty seeing at night
Faded or yellowed colors
Double vision in a single eye
Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions
Causes of Cataracts:

Aging: The most common cause, where proteins in the lens break down over time.
Genetics: A family history of cataracts may increase the risk.
Injury: Trauma to the eye can cause cataracts to form.
Medical Conditions: Diseases like diabetes, long-term steroid use, or exposure to radiation can contribute to cataract development.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol use, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light can also increase the risk.
