Description
Dr. Sheth describes cataracts, a common age-related condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and causes vision issues, including blurriness and difficulty reading small print. Sheth-Horsley Eye Center performs advanced cataract surgery with no sutures and quick recovery times. We can also easily combine cataract surgery with other procedures, such as glaucoma treatment.

Cataracts are a gradual clouding of the
natural crystalline lens of our eye.
2
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:19.580
It occurs with age,
causing blurriness that can manifest
3
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.260
in glare at night from streetlights or
headlights, difficulty in reading small
4
00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:26.860
print or the print
at the bottom of the TV.
5
00:00:26.890 --> 00:00:30.460
You lose detail in looking
at faces from afar.
6
00:00:30.490 --> 00:00:33.280
You can also have dullness in colors,
7
00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:38.260
loss of vibrancy,
and vividness of colors over time.
8
00:00:38.290 --> 00:00:40.220
Cataracts are treated with surgery.
9
00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:43.220
Modern day cataract surgery is
extraordinarily advanced,
10
00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:47.140
allowing us to do cataract surgery
usually in ten to 15 minutes.
11
00:00:47.170 --> 00:00:50.020
No sutures are required,
12
00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:53.700
and we can use premium or advanced
intraocular lenses that allow you
13
00:00:53.730 --> 00:00:59.140
to eliminate the need for glasses
for distance or near.
14
00:00:59.170 --> 00:00:59.940
In addition,
15
00:00:59.970 --> 00:01:06.100
we can often perform adjunctive procedures
for other conditions, such as glaucoma.
16
00:01:06.130 --> 00:01:08.210
If anyone has questions about cataract or
17
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:12.240
cataract surgery, please call our
office and schedule an appointment.
18
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:18.600
You.
