Cataracts, a common eye condition that affects almost everyone as they age, often go unnoticed until our 60s or 70s. We may start experiencing more glare, blur, and difficulty reading road signs, without realizing that our vision is deteriorating. It's astonishing how removing cataracts can reveal a whole new world of vibrant colors, as patients often discover that their furnishings appear completely different after the surgery. Cataracts are a major cause of blindness worldwide, but fortunately, they can be completely cured through surgery. In this blog post, we will delve into the age at which cataracts typically develop, along with the associated risk factors and available treatment options.

If you've ever been unsatisfied with your vision after cataract surgery, you're not alone. That's why the Light Adjustable Lens was created - the first Intraocular Lens (IOL) that allows for customized vision after surgery. Thanks to this groundbreaking technology, Dr. Lindahl can now adjust your vision to your liking after surgery.

Most cataracts develop slowly over time and will not greatly affect eyesight in the early stages. Cataracts are the clouding of the lens of the eye either due to natural aging or injury. Proteins and fibers in the lens of the eye begin to break down causing the formation of the cataract to create a haziness or blurriness in vision.
