Your Partner in Cataract Diagnosis & Care

Cataracts are a natural part of aging. They cause the eye’s lens to become cloudy,  making vision less sharp over time. While glasses or brighter lighting can help at first, surgery is the only way to restore clear vision once cataracts progress. 

We provide complete cataract co-management, guiding you through comprehensive eye exams before surgery and supporting your recovery afterward, so you feel confident every step of the way. 

Our team is here to answer any questions you have.

What are Cataracts?

Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurry or dim vision and making tasks like reading or driving at night more difficult. Cataracts tend to develop slowly and are usually an age-related condition.

Cataracts can be treated effectively with surgery.

Symptoms

Because cataracts develop over time, the changes they cause to your vision tend to be subtle. Eventually, though, symptoms begin to have an effect on daily activities. Common symptoms of cataracts include:

  • Blurred or hazy vision
  • Colors look faded or less vibrant
  • Glare or halos around lights, especially at night
  • Trouble seeing at night

Frequent changes in your eyeglass prescription

Causes & Risk Factors

While cataracts are often age-related, certain health and lifestyle factors can increase your risk. These include:

  • Family history of cataracts
  • Diabetes
  • Certain medications (like corticosteroids or phenothiazines)
  • UV exposure without eye protection
  • Smoking or heavy alcohol use
  • Low levels of antioxidants (like vitamin C and E)

What to Expect from Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a safe, common procedure that replaces the cloudy lens of your eye with a clear, artificial lens. The surgery itself takes less than 30 minutes, and most patients return home the same day.

At Stanislaus Vision Associates, we provide complete co-management for cataracts. Our team handles pre-op exams, answers your questions, and coordinates with trusted surgeons for care. After surgery, we guide your recovery with follow-up visits to check that your eyes are healing properly and your vision is clear.

Take the Next Step Towards Clearer Vision

From your first exam to post-surgery recovery, our team is here to make cataract care simple and stress-free. 

With experienced guidance and personal attention, we’ll support you every step of the way.
