Cataracts are a condition that occurs when the lens of the eye becomes clouded, which leads to progressive loss of clear vision. Surgery to remove the cataracts is the standard treatment for restoring vision. We provide cataract surgery Ponte Vedra patients require for improved vision, with board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologists in a caring, professional environment.
Risk Factors For Cataracts
Aging, exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun, smoking, diabetes, and the use of steroid medications are risk factors that contribute to the development of cataracts in the eyes. A family history of cataracts is also a factor. If you are obese or have high blood pressure, you are more likely to develop cataracts of the eyes.
What Happens During Cataracts Surgery?
You will need to arrange someone to drive you home after your surgery. During your cataract surgery procedure, you will receive drops to numb the surface of the eye.
