What is a Cataract?
What is a Cataract?
Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural crystalline lens — one of the primary structures responsible for clear vision — becomes clouded. Cataracts can develop at any age, but people over the age of 40 face a higher risk of developing cataracts. The process of developing cataracts can be very slow and take many years to be noticeable. This is why it’s important to get regular check-ups for cataracts and other age-related eye conditions, especially after the age of 40.
Cataracts currently affect more than 20.5 million Americans over age 40.
90%
By age 65, over 90% of people in the US will develop cataracts. By age 75, their cataracts can really affect their vision.
38.7
By 2030, the total number of people with cataracts is expected to grow to 38.7 million.
When the cataract is developing, the eye will become more nearsighted. As the cataract progresses, the lens of your eye will become more and more cloudy, reducing vision. The only way to restore vision to what it was is to have either traditional or laser cataract surgery, which replaces the clouded lens with an artificial intraocular lens.
Cataract surgery is the most common eye procedure performed, simply because cataracts are so common. Our team of professional eye doctors offer the latest technology for cataract surgery in Dallas. The procedure is simple — it’s performed on an outpatient basis, takes around half an hour from start to finish, and recovery typically only takes a few days.
What to Expect from Cataract Surgery
At Tylock-George Eye Care and Laser Center, all cataract surgeries are performed in a clean, modern surgical facility by a team of highly trained professionals.
During the procedure, the eye is kept numb with a local anesthetic for maximum comfort throughout cataract surgery. A tiny incision is created by the eye surgeon, which allows for a phacoemulsifier (a small probe that uses ultrasound waves) to gently remove the clouded lens. The cataract treatment itself takes less than 20 minutes to perform.
Following the procedure, eye drops will be placed in the eye to decrease inflammation and prevent infection, allowing for a faster and easier recovery period. Most patients find that they are able to resume normal daily activities less than 24 hours following their cataract treatment.
