What You Need to Know About Cataracts

Cataracts occur when your eyes’ lenses become cloudy, a condition that worsens with time, and can drastically impair your vision if left untreated. Cataracts worsen gradually, so people often don’t realize their vision is getting worse until significant vision loss has already occurred. At Look Optometry, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to detect cataracts early, and offer effective cataract management options to preserve your vision.

Cataracts Risk Factors

If any of these risk factors apply to you, it is important to get an annual comprehensive eye exam starting at age 40:

  • Diabetes: Fluctuating glucose levels affect the eyes.
  • Extended UV Exposure: Long-term exposure to sunlight without UV eye protection heightens the risk of developing cataracts.
  • Smoking: Increases the cataracts risk and accelerates their development.
  • Steroid use: Prolonged use of corticosteroid medications can lead to early cataract formation.
  • Previous eye injuries or surgery: Certain procedures increase risk — it is important to discuss your medical history with your eye doctor.
  • Genetics: Folks with parents, grandparents, or other close relatives who have developed cataracts are at risk.
