Re-illuminate Your World with Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are currently the leading cause of blindness worldwide, but they need no longer cloud your vision. Our ReFocus Eye Health team in Penndel is ready to shed light on this common eye condition and provide effective solutions. Discover how we can help you regain the clarity and brightness of your world through cataract surgery.
Cataracts: What They Are and How They Affect Vision
Cataracts are cloudy formations that develop within the eye’s natural lens, gradually causing blurred or hazy vision. Over time, the world may appear dimmer and colors less vibrant. They impact your vision by scattering and diffusing light as it passes through the eye’s lens. This scattering leads to distorted vision, and in advanced stages, it can severely affect your ability to read, drive, or enjoy everyday activities.
Causes and Risk Factors of Cataracts
While cataracts are predominantly associated with aging, various other factors can contribute to their causes and risk.
- Prolonged and unprotected exposure to UV rays
- Smoking
- A family history of cataracts
- Certain medical conditions (diabetes, obesity, and hypertension)
- Physical injuries or trauma to the eye
- Long-term use of certain medications
- Previous eye surgery (retinal surgery or intraocular procedures)
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- A diet lacking in certain antioxidants, and carotenoids
Treating Cataracts with Surgery: Your Path to Clarity in Penndel
Cataract surgery is a highly successful and widely performed procedure, with a success rate exceeding 95%. This surgery has helped millions regain clear vision and resume their daily activities with confidence.
During cataract surgery, our experienced ophthalmologists gently remove the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This IOL is customized to your unique vision needs, allowing you to see clearly without the cloudiness caused by cataracts.
Don’t let cataracts blur the beauty of life’s moments. At ReFocus Eye Health, our specialists can help you reclaim your clarity and revel in the vibrant world around you. Trust us to guide you toward a brighter, more focused tomorrow.
