Cataract Surgery Information

When Is Surgery Necessary?

At some point, cataracts begin to affect everyone's vision; more than half of all Americans age 65 and older have cataracts.1 Cataracts can often be managed for years with contacts or glasses, but as they develop, they can become more problematic.

When your vision begins to limit your independence or affect how you perform everyday activities, like driving or reading, it is time to talk to your eye doctor about considering cataract surgery.
