What Are Eye Cataracts
Cataracts are a condition that impairs one’s vision as the lenses of their eyes become more and more cloudy over time. People who experience cataracts often describe their experience as having hazy, and washed out vision. With cloudy vision normal daily tasks can become difficult, and without cataract surgery the problems will not go away. Most often an eye cataract will develop due to aging, but can also begin to develop after an injury. As the natural fibers and proteins within the lens begin to weaken, the lens itself becomes cloudy. Eye cataract issues can be brought on by other hereditary health concerns, or they can be caused by optical health conditions. By being proactive and making an appointment with an ophthalmologist one can have a cataract surgery for vision correction. Columbus Laser & Cataract Center offers consultation appointments for patients seeking surgical treatment for cataract symptoms.
How Do Eye Cataracts Form
The most common way that cataracts form is from naturally aging. The lens inside of your eye helps to focus light that enters the eye, and allows the retina to decipher the light and send information to your brain in order for you to see. As the lenses begin to break down they become foggy, cloudy, and hazy, which blocks a significant amount of light. This is why someone with cataracts may have more trouble driving at night or reading in a dark room. When cataract symptoms get worse over time less and less light is able to make it through, which further impairs one’s vision causing it to become more blurry. Ophthalmologists and eye surgeons can provide comprehensive eye exams and offer standard treatments in order to reduce cataract symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Cataracts
Cataract symptoms will vary from patient to patient, but the most common symptom is clouded vision. This blurry vision is caused by the breaking down of the proteins in the lenses of your eye, as well as the fibers. Because the lenses become clouded and block light, another common cataract symptom is difficulty seeing in darker environments. One cataract symptom that commonly occurs early in the development of cataracts is light sensitivity. Because the lenses of your eye are damaged the light is refracted and creates a bright halo effect. Some patients report having double vision, or seeing a second ghost-like image of their vision. All of these symptoms should be looked at by an eye doctor sooner than later to ensure a proper diagnosis. Eye specialists can perform a comprehensive eye exam in order to properly diagnose the symptoms and determine if cataract surgery is necessary or if treatment for another illness is required. Like all aspects of health, when vision symptoms begin to present themselves it’s important to have a professional provide their expert opinion on the matter.
Potential Risk Factors & Developing Cataracts
While there is no treatment to fully stop eyes from aging and cataract symptoms from occurring, with simple but effective preventive care techniques we are able to greatly slow this process down. Some of the more common high risk causes of cataracts are high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, high alcohol consumption, excessive UV ray exposure, and advanced age. Even though some of these factors are life circumstances that we can’t change, by being proactive with both our overall health and vision health we can avoid serious eye conditions from having a major impact on our lives. Columbus Laser & Cataract Center is committed to providing excellent eye care services to our Grove City patients to ensure we can stop serious eye conditions from getting worse with the right treatment.

Cataract Surgery Consultation Services
Prior to any major decisions patients will attend a cataract eye surgery consultation meeting with an eye surgeon. This process helps us understand exactly what the patient needs and gives them more information on procedures. Providing accurate expectations is an important part of this consultation. We will determine through an eye exam, health history, and other factors if cataract surgery is the best course of action for your eye health.
Additional Eye Care Services
Columbus Laser & Cataract Center is a premiere surgical center providing advanced eye care to Grove City and the greater Columbus area. We provide LASIK eye surgery that reshapes the corneas in your eye to improve vision in multiple ways. Our LASIK eye surgery team will provide an assessment to determine if you are a good candidate for this type of surgery, or if another treatment option will suit your condition better. Some patients may benefit from an Intraocular Lense, or IOL, which is a small lens that can be implanted to fix a multitude of vision and eye problems. Columbus Laser & Cataract Center also provides dry eye treatment, an issue that impacts 30 million Americans today.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
A comprehensive eye exam is the best way to have a complete checkup on your vision and the health of each eye. A comprehensive eye exam looks deeper into your overall health and allows an eye specialist to properly screen for disease, detect any underlying health issues with your eyes, and either confirm or rule out the potential need for cataract surgery. An eye care specialist will assess the sharpness of your vision, how well your eyes work together and individually, depth perception, eye movement, pupil dilation, and more. During an eye exam an ophthalmologist will be able to assess whether glaucoma surgery or cataract surgery are potentially necessary, and can answer any questions regarding this process. By having regular eye exams you can stay ahead of cataracts. By having your eyes looked at often by an eye care specialist they will be able to give you an ophthalmology recommendation if they believe cataract surgery is necessary.
