If you’re starting to notice blurry vision, increased glare, or fading colors, these could be some of the early signs of cataracts. Although you can’t stop cataracts from continuing to cloud your natural lens once the process has started, healthy habits may help slow their progression somewhat. While cataracts are a natural part of aging for many people and can’t always be avoided, advancements like laser cataract surgery, premium IOLs, and specialized technologies make cataract removal more convenient and successful than ever.
At Palm Beach Eye Center in Lake Worth and Delray Beach, FL, our experienced cataract surgery specialists provide customized solutions to help restore your sight and enhance your daily life. Keep reading to learn more about how to slow cataracts and what to do when you’re ready to have your cataracts addressed.
Can cataracts be stopped once they start forming?
Cataracts are caused by the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, usually due to aging, but they can also be accelerated by certain medications, sun exposure, or medical conditions like diabetes. Unfortunately, there is no proven way to reverse cataracts or stop them from growing once they begin to form. However, wearing UV-protective sunglasses, maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, and managing chronic health conditions may help slow their progression in some cases. Even with these lifestyle habits, however, cataracts typically worsen over time but cataract surgery offers a highly effective solution for removing cataracts and restoring clearer, more vibrant vision.
How do you know when it’s time for cataract surgery?
If your cataracts are beginning to interfere with daily activities like reading, driving at night, or seeing faces clearly, it may be time to consider surgery. At Palm Beach Eye Center, we perform comprehensive evaluations to assess your symptoms and determine whether surgery is the right next step. You don’t need to wait until your vision is significantly impaired to start thinking about cataract surgery. In fact, opting for surgery before cataracts severely limit your eyesight may allow for an easier recovery and better long-term outcomes.
What are the IOL options for cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery gives you the opportunity to choose a replacement lens that aligns with your lifestyle and vision goals. At Palm Beach Eye Center, we offer a wide range of premium IOLs to help you not only regain clear vision but potentially reduce or remove your need for glasses after cataract surgery. Some of the most popular types of premium IOLs for cataract surgery include:
- Multifocal lenses
- Accommodative lenses
- Extended range lenses
- Toric lenses for astigmatism
Again, our knowledgeable team will walk you through your choices during your initial consultation and exam, taking into account how you use your vision each day like working on a computer or driving at night and help you select a lens designed to support those needs.
How does femtosecond laser cataract surgery improve your outcome?
At our Lake Worth and Delray Beach locations, we use femtosecond laser technology to create precise, bladeless incisions and gently break up the clouded lens for removal. This laser-guided approach enhances surgical accuracy and reduces the risk of infection or complications. Once the cloudy lens is removed, your selected IOL is implanted with precision. Many patients say they notice a dramatic improvement in vision shortly after laser cataract surgery, and often wish they had done it sooner.
