About Cataracts, Symptoms of Cataract and Signs of Cataracts
What Is Laser Vision Correction Adjustable Cataract Surgery?
At Stahl Vision, we combine advanced technology with personalized care to deliver exceptional visual outcomes. Our laser vision correction adjustable cataract surgery uses precise eye measurements and our powerful Version 5 calculation software to customize your lens implant for your unique eyes.
Because every eye heals differently, even the most advanced technology can’t guarantee perfect vision the first time every time. That’s why we offer the ability to fine-tune your vision with additional laser correction, if needed, after surgery.
The goal? Your clearest possible vision with less dependence on glasses, contacts, bifocals, and reading glasses.
Stahl Vision Cataract Center – Get the Vision you Deserve!
If you are struggling with your vision you may already have the first symptoms of cataracts.
Cataracts at a Glance: Early signs of cataracts include glare from headlights at night, difficulty driving in bright morning or evening sunlight or in the rain, frequent changes in your glasses prescription, and little improvement with new glasses. Take our Cataract Quiz above to see if you may be experiencing signs of cataracts.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and safest surgical procedures, thanks to advances in technology and surgical techniques. At Stahl Vision, surgery is performed in our in-office surgery center as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but surgery is only needed when vision changes begin to interfere with daily activities. You don't have to wait until your vision becomes severely impaired to explore your treatment options.
Clear Vision Before Cataracts
Cloudy Vision From Cataracts
Your eye doctor may detect early cataracts before you notice vision changes. Common signs include glare from headlights or bright sunlight, difficulty driving at night, blurry vision, and frequent glasses prescription changes that don’t improve your sight. These symptoms may worsen over time, eventually making cataract surgery beneficial. If you have no signs or symptoms of cataracts, surgery is likely not needed.
Before age 40, the eye’s natural lens is usually clear and flexible, allowing us to focus on nearby objects. As we age, changes in the lens gradually affect our vision, even if we’ve always had good eyesight.
In our 40s, the lens becomes less flexible, making close-up vision more difficult. This condition, called presbyopia, often requires reading glasses or bifocals. By our 50s and beyond, the lens may begin to cloud, forming cataracts that blur vision even with glasses. Both are common age-related changes, and cataracts may eventually require surgery to restore clearer vision.
Cataracts are usually a natural part of aging, but certain factors can cause them to develop earlier, including eye injuries, diabetes, genetics, and long-term use of corticosteroids such as prednisone. Keeping blood sugar well controlled may help reduce the risk of early cataract development.
While cataracts cannot always be prevented, healthy habits may help protect your eyes. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, manage diabetes, and wear UV-protective sunglasses outdoors. These steps support overall eye health, although no approach can guarantee prevention of cataracts.
