Cataract Care
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. Cataracts often develop gradually and can eventually affect reading, driving, night vision, color perception, glare, and other everyday activities.
A cataract evaluation looks at both the clarity of the lens and how much the vision change is affecting you. The exact testing varies by patient.
No. Early cataracts may simply be monitored, and an updated prescription may help for a period of time. Surgery is generally discussed when cataracts interfere enough with daily activities or visual needs that the benefits of treatment are expected to outweigh the risks.
When cataract surgery is appropriate, New Path Vision can help evaluate the eyes, explain the findings, coordinate referral or surgical care, and provide appropriate pre- and post-operative support based on the patient’s needs.
