Qualified help for you

Cataracts may develop rapidly over a few months or slowly over several years. In most cases, the second eye will be affected, but not necessarily at the same time or he same rate.

As your cataract progresses, you will notice a deterioration of your distance and reading vision. In addition to blurred vision you may experience sensitivity to light or glare intolerance, especially at night. All of these symptoms are normal and should be no cause for alarm

In early stages changing your glasses may help. However, eventually, increasing the strength of glasses will be insufficient and surgery will become necessary.
