Uveitis is an inflammatory condition that affects both men and women equally. It can present in different ways and does have possible complications. For these reasons, it is suggested that you see a specialist for diagnosis.
When it comes to maintaining your health, there is arguably nothing more important than preserving your vision. Cataracts are one of the most prevalent issues to impact society today, with nearly 30 million people expected to develop the condition by the year 2028.
Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem: Advanced cataract surgery. Stick around as we cover some of the most common questions patients have had regarding this long-trusted operation.
There are several stages patients undergo before, during and after cataract surgery. Expect your ophthalmologist to walk you through the following steps:
Standard cataract surgery will improve vision, however patients will still be required to wear glasses for some or all tasks. Premium astigmatism correcting lenses and multifocal lenses are available at an additional cost, which may help to decrease or even eliminate your dependence on glasses. Not every patient is a candidate for a premium lens – talk to your surgeon about lens options which are right for you.
The most common sign of cataracts is blurry vision. More specific signs include difficulty reading at near, glare around headlights while driving at night, and more difficulty reading street signs or the print on TV. If your vision grows cloudy over time, you may be experiencing symptoms of cataract progression and should speak with a doctor.
