If there\u2019s blurred or double vision, eyeglasses don\u2019t help, and daily activities are affected, a professional cataract exam is needed! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Cataracts, left untreated, continue to worsen and may lead to blindness. Still, they\u2019re a common struggle for over 24 million people. Preventative exams and adequate medical care are vital to prevent the downward spiral.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Are Cataracts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Cataracts are a common challenge. They cause a clouding of the lens, blocking proper light from entering the eye, thus diminishing vision. Although cataracts don\u2019t create pain, they do cause big problems for anyone trying to maintain independence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Because cataracts can cause night vision problems, like blurring or a halo effect around lights, someone affected may have to stop driving until after surgery and full recovery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Colours may appear dull and hard to identify, even when wearing corrective eyeglasses prescriptions. Without treatment, the eyes can begin to look cloudy or discoloured and may become visible to others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Causes Cataracts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The medical community doesn\u2019t fully understand what triggers cataracts, besides the natural effects of aging. However, factors that may contribute to cataracts include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Smoking<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Eye injury, specific diseases, or inflammation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Exposure to UV rays<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Hereditary factors<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Using steroids for extended periods<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Events that occur before birth, such as an illness the mother has when pregnant<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How Can Cataracts Be Prevented?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">So, what should we do to prevent cataracts?\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">See an eye doctor regularly so cataracts can be identified quickly, and the best measures can be implemented to protect vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">#1. Start by wearing sunglasses with UV protection on sunny days<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">#2. Quit smoking<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">#3. Get more exercise<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">#4. Eat leafy green veggies<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cataract Surgery and Recover<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Eye surgery to remove cataracts is not rare in the U.S. Over 2 million procedures are performed annually with a success rate of over 95%. Recovery is typically a few days, although complete healing takes up to a month. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">During this recovery, the family may be concerned about how they can assist their loved one. The patient might benefit from a professional caregiver to help them with daily activities for these weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Seniors who have help with housekeeping chores, meal preparation, or errands, can regain a sense of competence.
