What Are Cataracts?
The lens in your eye is normally crystal clear, but when it becomes opaque, we call it a 'cataract'. A cataract is NOT a film or growth that occurs in the eye, it is simply a cloudy lens.
In A Normal Eye, Light Passes Through The Clear Lens And Focuses On The Retina.
A Clouded Lens Or Cataract Causes The Light To Scatter Across The Retina.
As the opacity worsens, it prevents light from properly focusing on the retina, the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. Early lens changes or opacities may not disturb vision significantly. But as the lens continues to change, your vision becomes blurred and you may begin to notice glare, haziness, and difficulty seeing street signs or reading, for example.

Dr. Shamie Explains Cataracts
Cataracts are caused by the natural aging of the lens of the eye. As explained by Dr. Neda Shamie, it happens to be a quick, routine and painless procedure with a multitude of benefits. Watch to learn more.
What Are The Symptoms Of Cataracts?
- Blurry or hazy vision, or dim vision that requires brighter lights in order to read small print
- Increased glare and sensitivity to light, especially in bright sunlight or while driving at night
- A yellowing of the vision
- Distortion, double images, or ghosting of the vision
- Increased nearsightedness, requiring frequent changes in your glasses prescription
How Are Cataracts Diagnosed And Treated?
You'll need to have a thorough examination of your eyes, including dilation and an attempt at a new glasses prescription. At first, a change in your eyeglass prescription may be all that is needed to temporarily improve your vision. When you feel that your vision affects your daily activities or your lifestyle and you desire better vision, cataract surgery in Los Angeles should be considered. Cataracts can only be removed with surgery.
