Light rays focus through your lens onto the retina, a layer of light sensitive cells at the back of the eye. But, over time, the lens can become cloudy and prevent light rays from passing clearly through the lens, making the images on the retina blurry. When the lens gets cloudy enough to obstruct vision to any significant degree, it is called a cataract. Glasses or contact lenses cannot sharpen your vision if a cataract is present.

Cataracts generally develop slowly and painlessly. In fact, you may not even realize that your vision is changing. Once a cataract develops, neither diet nor laser treatment will make a cataract go away. Los Angeles eye doctor Linda Vu M.D can answer many important questions about the best options for cataract surgery vision correction. We utilize one of the most advanced laser eye surgery technology methods for your cataract surgery Los Angeles, Orange County, Pasadena or the Inland Empire.

The most common cause of cataract is aging. Other causes include trauma, medications such as steroids, systemic diseases such as diabetes, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light. Occasionally, babies are born with a cataract.

Los Angeles cataract surgeon Dr. Vu recommends reducing the amount of ultraviolet light exposure by wearing a wide-brim hat and sunglasses may reduce your risk for developing a cataract, but once it starts, there is no cure except to have the cataract surgically removed. Outpatient surgical procedures can remove the cataract through either a small incision (phacoemulsifcation) or a large incision (extracapsular extraction). The time to have the surgical procedure is when your vision is bad enough that it interferes with your lifestyle.
