Cataract Diagnosis & Treatment in Loveland

No More Cloudy Days

If you are approaching middle-age and notice a cloudy “hue” affecting your vision, there’s a good chance it’s a cataract. Cataracts form naturally as your eye’s lenses begin to build up with proteins. By the time a person reaches their 70s, they have most likely experienced cataracts. Cataracts are not an alarming condition but they do require responsible eye care to remedy.

2020 EyeCare adult eye exams check for cataracts and measure their severity. Following your exam, we can discuss the best steps to take for correction. Like any eye surgery, we co-manage your experience until your eyes are healthy again.

The Causes of Cataracts

The leading cause of cataracts is quite simply old age. Proteins that naturally occur in the eye begin to break down and clump together, leaving a cloudy residue on the lens. Some other factors that influence the onset of cataracts are:

• Family history of cataracts
• Other medical conditions, specifically diabetes
• An eye injury, surgery, or trauma
• Overexposure to UV rays
• Excessive smoking
• Drinking too much alcohol
• Consumption of certain medicines, like steroids
• Obesity
