Cataracts

Cataracts

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to gradual vision loss. It's one of the most common age-related eye conditions—by age 65, over half of adults have some degree of cataract, and the number grows with age.

Cataracts often develop slowly and may go unnoticed at first. As they progress, they can make everyday tasks—like reading or driving at night—more difficult. Early on, stronger glasses and better lighting may help. When vision starts to interfere with daily life, cataract surgery—a safe, routine procedure—may be recommended.

How We Help

At Vienna Eyecare Center, we monitor cataract progression and help determine the right time for surgery. We work closely with some of the most respected cataract surgeons in the region to ensure a seamless experience.

Primary Vision Symptoms

Cataracts can affect one or both eyes, but they often develop at different rates in each eye. Symptoms usually develop slowly over time. The most common symptoms include:
  • Cloudy or Blurry Vision – Like looking through a foggy window
  • Trouble Seeing at Night – Glare, halos, or “starbursts” around lights
  • Light Sensitivity – Discomfort in bright light or sunlight
  • Faded or Yellowed Colors – Colors lose vibrancy over time
  • Double Vision – Ghosting effect, even with one eye covered

Don't wait for your vision to worsen.
