Cataract Awareness Month – Protect Your Vision
Cataracts affect millions of people as they age, but early detection and treatment can restore clear, comfortable vision. June is Cataract Awareness Month—a reminder to stay proactive about your eye health.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, often due to aging. This condition can lead to blurred vision, glare, difficulty reading, and dull color perception. Left untreated, cataracts can eventually lead to blindness. But cataracts can be treated and you can regain your clarity of vision. Cataract surgery is a safe, quick and effective procedure that’s helped millions of people around the world. And it can help you too.
