Cataracts is a condition many of us know all to well. However understanding the impact it has on your vision and that there is help is something that is misunderstood. Cataracts can affect people for many different reasons. Knowing the symptoms of the condition will assist with early detection and in many cases save your vision.

Symptoms of Cataracts:

Poor night vision

Increasing light to read

Fading colors or yellows

Glare

Increased sensitivity to sunlight glare

Increased sensitivity to headlights

Painless blurred vision

Cataracts can affect each person differently and though in age-related cases cataracts generally progresses slowly; patients with diabetes can have very rapid development of cataracts. Though the myth is that a cataract is a long progressive disease know one really can determine how fast it will progress from one person to the next. The best advice is to get checked regularly and if you are a diabetic being examined yearly is very important.

Risk Factors for Cataracts:

Though most of us a think cataract is an age related condition there are many other ways you can be affected by cataracts.

Below are a few risk factors to consider:

Family history of Cataracts

Diabetes other medical conditions

Eye injury

Medications [ie steroids]

Radiation

Long term light [UV] exposure

Previous eye surgeries

Low diet enriched in antioxidants [vegetables and fruits]

Treatments for Cataracts:

In past years many doctors used a procedure that waits to remove the cataracts until the vision has been significantly reduced. However now doctors like Dr. Boxer Wachler of the Boxer Wachler Vision Institute are using Natural lens Replacement to improve the vision of patients before cataracts rob their vision. When the very early stage of cataracts begin, usually in individuals in their 50’s, the lens can be replaced. The benefit is patients have excellent distance and near vision and never need to worry about experiencing poor vision from cataract.

It is never too soon to take steps to protect your vision. Ensuring we have good vision care should be a high priority in your families health care. Establishing a good vision specialist will protect your eyes in the future. Many of us take for granted our vision care despite the fact that we only have one pair.

Here are 4 things your family can do to ensure good vision:

Choose a good vision clinic:

Ensure that your eye clinic has good customer service and is not too busy to give you an appointment in a reasonable time. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of the staff when looking. Note how helpful the staff are and whether they answer your questions without hesitation.

Choose an compatible doctor:

Make sure the doctor you choose for your family is one that is concerned with their patients, and has the time to see them. Many times the doctor is good but very busy and doesn’t have sufficient time to dedicate to you and your family. You want to choose a doctor that has time for you! Ask questions to the patients as well. Some doctors have testimonials on their websites; feel free to research them as well. Be serious about your vision care.

Get regular checkups:

Make sure your family is being seen every two years. If you have risk factors for eye conditions like Diabetes you should be seen every year. If you have trouble remembering your appointments put it on your calendar. Ensuring your families eyes are checked regularly could save them hassles or catch conditions early on.

Educate yourself:

Don’t be afraid to do the research and take some initiative in your vision care. Write down any questions you have for your eye doctor and address them at your next appointment. If you don’t understand the answers they are giving you ask them until you do. This is your vision, and your care.

Remember:

                                                    “You are your best advocate”
