Cataract Diagnosis & Surgery Co-management
Cataracts are a common eye condition that affects many people as they age. At Baymeadows Vision Center, our eye doctors can diagnose cataracts, discuss treatment options, and provide co-management for cataract surgery if needed. We work closely with trusted ophthalmologists in Jacksonville to ensure you receive the best care before and after surgery.
What are cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. When the lens becomes cloudy, light can’t pass through, leading to blurry vision. People with cataracts often describe it as looking through a frosted glass or a foggy window. As time goes on, the cataract may get larger and affect more of your vision.
Cataract diagnosis in Jacksonville
If you’re experiencing cloudy vision or difficulty seeing at night, our cataract eye doctor can perform a comprehensive eye exam. This may include a visual acuity test, retinal exam, and glare sensitivity test to assess the severity of your cataracts and determine if treatment is necessary.
Cataract treatment in Jacksonville, FL
Treatment for cataracts will depend on how much they affect your vision and daily activities. In the early stages, you may be able to manage cataracts by making small changes like using magnifying lenses or brighter lighting. Your eye doctor may also update your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
As the cataract develops, you may need to get surgery to remove it. Cataract surgery is a very common and safe procedure that involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. If our eye doctor determines surgery is necessary, we will refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist in the area for the procedure and provide post-op cataract surgery care to monitor your recovery and vision improvement.
