Cataracts

Cataracts are cloudy areas in the eye’s lens that can cause blurry and distorted vision. If you have cataracts, it may seem like you’re looking at the world through a dirty or fogged-up window. At Northeast Eye Care in West Point, Pender, and Oakland, our eye doctors can detect cataracts during your comprehensive eye exam and assess how they are impacting your vision.

How to treat cataracts

Surgery is the only treatment for cataracts, but it’s not always necessary right away. In the early stages, updating your prescription for glasses or contact lenses may be all that’s needed to help you see more clearly. As cataracts progress and begin to significantly impair your vision, surgery may be necessary. We work closely with skilled surgeons in the area and will provide referrals for surgery when needed. We’ll also be there for pre-operative consultations and post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery process.
