Characterized by cloudiness in the lens of the eye, cataracts form as we age. It is a frustrating condition as it cannot be treated with a simple fix like glasses or contacts. Cataracts can be a challenging sign of aging, affecting the ability to drive, see clearly, and can greatly limit your enjoyment of life. Cataracts can develop due to aging, environmental factors, eye injuries, or genetics. The only way to successfully treat cataracts is with a surgical procedure. Unlike other conditions that can be corrected with glasses or contacts, the clouding of the eye’s lenses is irreversible, and can be alleviated with a replacement lens implant. There are a range of lens types, including those to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism as well as those with extended depth of focus and multifocal lenses, which can reduce your dependence on distance and reading glasses. Dr. Moore works with several of the regions best cataract surgeons to guide you through the pre-operative process and monitor your recovery through the post-operative period.
