Most cataracts develop slowly over time and will not greatly affect eyesight in the early stages. Cataracts are the clouding of the lens of the eye either due to natural aging or injury. Proteins and fibers in the lens of the eye begin to break down causing the formation of the cataract to create a haziness or blurriness in vision.
The Rochester Eye and Laser Center has all of the eye care services you need, all under one roof! So this August (also known as National Eye Exam Month), get scheduled to make sure your eyes are happy and healthy for years to come!
At Rochester Eye and Laser Center we are committed to patient education. This helps patients know what we will be doing during procedures and we make sure to answer all their questions.
It is quite common to have anxiety around an eye procedure and we want our patients to be calm and comfortable through each surgery, and education helps.
