Rediscover Clear Vision With Cataract Care

Our eyes have natural lenses that bend and refract light rays to grant us the gift of sight. Ideally, this lens is crystal clear, allowing light to pass through effortlessly. However, it can gradually become cloudy as we age, leading to cataracts. The good news is that at ReFocus Eye Health in Meriden, we provide solutions to regain clarity.

How Cataracts Affect Your Vision

Cataracts cloud the eye’s natural lens. As we age, the proteins in the lens can clump together, forming cloudy areas known as cataracts. These cloudy areas interfere with the passage of light through the lens, leading to blurred or hazy vision. This common condition often develops slowly, but its impact on daily life can be significant. The gradual onset of cataracts can cause colors to appear less vivid and can lead to difficulties with night vision and reading.

Factors That Can Lead to Cataracts

Understanding the risk factors associated with cataracts is key to proactive eye care. Factors that increase the likelihood of cataract development include:

  • Aging
  • High blood pressure
  • Excessive sun exposure
  • Smoking
  • Obesity
  • Family history
  • Certain medications
  • Past eye trauma or surgery

Advanced Cataract Solutions in Meriden for Clear Sight

When cataracts cloud your vision, the world may seem dimmer, but there’s hope: cataract surgery. This highly successful procedure is the only way to remove cataracts and restore clear vision.

Cataract surgery involves replacing the cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). Our team specializes in state-of-the-art cataract surgery, tailoring each procedure to your needs.
