Ep. 80 | All About Cataracts—Making Sure You’re in the Clear EPAGA University
-
- Health & Fitness
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye (the clear part of the eye that helps to focus light). Cataracts are very common as you get older. In fact, more than half of all Americans age 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to get rid of cataracts.
At first, you may not notice that you have a cataract. But over time, cataracts can make your vision blurry, hazy, or less colorful and can eventually lead to vision loss. Timely diagnosis and treatment is important to preserving the quality of your vision. Join us this week as we discuss what cataracts are, the types that exist, how to know when you might need to see a doctor, and what treatment options are currently available.
