Treating Cataracts in Glendale
Medical Care from Lugene Eye Institute
Cataracts are a condition that is often associated with the aging population;
however, anyone at any age could be diagnosed with these visual complications.
At Lugene Eye Institute, we treat patients of all ages and provide comprehensive
care, diagnoses and treatment for cataract patients. Our team has more
than 80 years of combined experience, and we use only state-of-the-art
instruments to ensure that our patients receive the highest level of care
available. If you are aware that you have developed a cataract, or if
you are concerned about a change in your vision, do not hesitate to contact a
Glendale ophthalmologist from our office today!
Cataracts are progressive conditions that can cause a clouding over an
individual's lens that interferes with the way that light passes through
the retina and is processed by the brain. Double vision, blurry or fuzzy
vision, and light sensitivity are often signs of cataract development.
Other symptoms may include:
- Frequent change of prescription lenses
- Complications seeing at night or in bright sunlight
- Halos around objects
- Significant decrease in vision
- Difficulty reading at near or far distances
Cataracts can develop for a number of reasons, including age, smoking,
medical conditions, genetics, diabetes, and eye trauma. Patients suffering
from glaucoma, UV radiation, and poor nutrition can also develop cataracts.
While cataracts can occur at any time, they typically develop in individuals
who are over the age of 60. More than 50% of people who are 60 and older
have developed at least 1 cataract.

When you come to Lugene Eye Institute, we can determine the best course
of action to help you regain your sight. For some people, the cataracts
may not be bothersome enough to call for surgery; however, most cases
require some surgical treatment.
Cataract surgery does not necessarily harm your, eye so the removal of
the cataract could potentially restore almost clear vision. Your physician
can help determine which procedure may be right for you.
