Cataracts occur when a clouding on the lens of your eye obstructs your vision. Luckily cataracts can be surgically removed by an optometrist and your vision restored. At Eyes Over Copley in Boston, MA, we are committed to providing the eye care our patients need to maintain optimal vision and eye health.  We offer patients in greater Boston, including Brookline, Cambridge, and Newton a range of optometry services to enhance healthy eyesight.

Benefits of Cataract Surgery

Cataracts may take time before they fully develop and cause vision problems. Unfortunately, cataracts are among the leading causes of vision loss. The good news is that our eye doctor can diagnose cataracts early on and recommend a professional eye surgeon to surgically remove them in advanced stages. Other benefits of cataract surgery include:

• Improving your overall eye health: cataracts may also cause other eye problems, and removing them helps reduce these other eye problems.
• Improving and boosting your overall life: having a problem with your vision negatively impacts your day-to-day life. However, when cataracts are removed, your vision is restored, and you can run your life better.
• Enhancing safety: poor vision may result in accidents like falls. However, when you have better eyesight, your safety is improved when the possibility of accidents reduces.
