Cataract Co-Management with Brinegar Eye Care in Bloomington, IN
Unfortunately, our eyes often show signs of age as we get older. Reading glasses are common, and we have to monitor our vision closely.
Sometimes these issues are more serious than just needing glasses. Underlying conditions such as eye disease can dramatically affect your quality of life, which is why it's crucial to regularly visit an eye doctor.
Understanding Cataracts
Cataracts are a common condition where the natural lens in your eye becomes cloudy, resulting in blurry or hazy vision. If left untreated, cataracts can cause significant vision problems and may lead to blindness. We recommend that patients over 60 receive regular eye exams to screen for cataracts.
At Brinegar Eye Care in Bloomington, IN, our optometrists are dedicated to providing comprehensive eye care to help you maintain healthy eyes and clear vision. One of the most common eye conditions we treat is cataracts, which can significantly affect your vision.
Screenings for Cataracts
During the exam, our optometrist will thoroughly assess your eye health and check for signs of the condition. If we detect any changes in your vision or symptoms, we may recommend additional testing or refer you to a specialist for further evaluation.
Co-Management for Cataracts
If you are diagnosed with cataracts, our team at Brinegar Eye Care will help you manage the condition with cataracts co-management services. We work closely with your surgeon to ensure a successful outcome, providing pre-operative and post-operative care to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
We also offer a range of lens options, including multifocal lenses, to improve your vision and reduce your dependence on glasses after surgery. Our optometrist will work with you to determine the best lens option for your needs and lifestyle.
While cataracts are common as we age, you can reduce your risk of developing them. Protecting your eyes from UV radiation by wearing sunglasses or a hat with a brim is essential. Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and managing underlying health conditions like diabetes can also help reduce your risk of developing cataracts.
At Brinegar Eye Care, our team of experts will provide you with the highest level of care to help you maintain healthy eyes and clear vision.
