My cataract surgery went as well as I had hoped for with no complications or discomfort. The difference in my vision is amazing - the difference between looking through a dirty window and looking through a clean, clean window. I can only say if I had to recommend or do it again it would be with Dr. Mack and his associates.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, which can cause one's vision to become blurry. They are common with age and can occur in one or both eyes. The clouding usually occurs slowly, but can happen quickly, especially after trauma to the eye.

While cataracts are not painful, they do cause many symptoms such as blurry vision, fewer details, glare while driving or reading, dull colors, changes in your glasses prescription and double vision in one eye.According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, more than half of all Americans will develop cataracts by age 80. Cataract surgery usually can restore vision lost to cataracts and often can reduce your dependence on eyeglasses as well.
