Cataracts treatment Weehawken
Cataracts start off “silently,” progressing without any noticeable signs, and then announce themselves. The problem grows worse over time, and here at Palisade Eye, we have the solutions for you with our
cataracts treatment Weehawken. The more you know about the causes, symptoms, and diagnostic testing, the easier it will be for you to avoid the consequences of this common eye disease.
Among the causes of cataracts are various reasons that range from heredity to radiation exposure to use of corticosteroids. And while your lifestyle choices may not cause cataracts directly, they certainly contribute to them developing. There are links between heavy tobacco and alcohol use and the onset of cataracts. When symptoms do become apparent, they can include difficulties in perceiving color, double vision, blurry vision, feeling as if there is a film over your eyes, and problems driving at night. Diagnostic testing centers around a slit lamp exam, but will include over tests and screening as required by our ophthalmologist to make a definitive diagnosis. Our cataracts treatment Weehawken begins with a prescription for special eyeglasses or contact lenses that counteract the effects of the disease and allow you to see better in spite of it. For many patients, this method will work very well for an unspecified period of time. Eventuality, many reach a stage where corrective eyewear is no longer sufficient. Fortunately, advancements in technology have led to the creation of intraocular lens implants, called IOLs for short. These are prosthetic lenses to replace your natural ones and the cataracts on them. They come in different types, depending on need, but they restore the clarity of your vision, even if you do need glasses for reading. With premium multi-focal IOLs, you won't even need that.
