Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world.
Cataracts affect 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older.
Fortunately, in the U.S., cataract surgery is safer and simpler
than ever with results that cannot only improve your vision but
can potentially do so and eliminate your need or dependency on
glasses. Usually, cataracts develop slowly with little effect on
vision. But as the cataract grows, vision becomes blurred, like
looking through a cloudy lens or an impressionist painting.
