Seaside Eye Care Aims To Prevent Cataracts With Emphasis On Early Examinations

August is cataract awareness month and Seaside Eyecare Optometry in San Clemente, CA is committed to saving the eyesight of as many people as possible this summer through early examinations.

San Clemente, CA (prHWY.com) June 22, 2012 - Cataracts are more often related to aging and are common in older people. Cataracts can occur in either or both eyes and although vision can be restored in most people with cataracts, age-related cataracts are still the most common cause of blindness. By age eighty, more than half of all Americans either have some extent of cataract or have already experienced a cataract procedure in one or both eyes. By age ninety five, this proportion grows to near one hundred percent. People with a cataract in one eye usually go on to develop a cataract in the other eye as well.

The team of eye professionals at Seaside Eyecare Optometry and Dr. Jean Lim recognize the importance of preserving eyesight through early diagnosis and treatment. The San Clemente eye doctor is committed to cataract awareness and is recommending people make an appointment to have their eyes checked this summer to prevent unneeded difficulty.

A cataract is not contagious and cannot spread from one eye to the other or from person to person. Cataracts do not cause the eye to tear abnormally. They are neither painful nor make the eye itchy or red. They are difficult to recognize because of this and the San Clemente Optometrists offer modern technology and new methods of treatment for acute and chronic cataracts disease. When a cataract is present, the lens portion of the eye that is normally clear is cloudy. When the lens is cloudy from a cataract, the image striking the retina will be blurry and the vision will be blurry. The extent of the visual disturbance is dependent upon the degree of cloudiness of the lens. In a normal eye, light passes through the transparent lens to the retina. The lens must be clear for the retina to receive a sharp image.
