June marks Cataract Awareness Month, a national reminder to prioritize your eye health and take action against one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. At Westlake Eye Specialists, we believe that clear vision is empowering — and that every patient deserves personalized care from a leading Austin cataract surgeon.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts develop when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy, often due to aging. Symptoms can include:
- Blurry or hazy vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Glare or halos around lights
- Faded or yellowed colors
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
If you’re over 60, there’s a good chance you’re already experiencing early signs — even if you don’t know it.
When Is It Time for Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery isn’t just for when vision is severely impaired. Many people are now choosing to address their cataracts earlier — especially with the availability of premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) that not only restore clarity but can reduce your dependency on glasses altogether.
At Westlake Eye Specialists, we offer the latest lens options, including:
- PanOptix® Trifocal IOL – for near, intermediate, and distance vision
- Vivity™ Extended Depth of Focus IOL – for a more natural range of vision
- Light Adjustable Lens – for customizable vision after surgery
- Toric IOLs – to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery
