Cataracts are a common disease that causes clouding of the lens in the eye, resulting in glare, distortions, and mild to severe blurred vision.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, over 50% of patients over the age of 65 have a significant amount of cataracts. That&#8217;s why we offer diagnosis and co-management of cataracts with local ophthalmologists to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.<\/p>\n<p>Cataract surgery is the most common procedure in the world and involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a new intraocular lens. At Bay Area Eye Center, we work with our patients to determine the best type of intraocular lens for their needs, whether it be a single-vision or multi-focal lens that allows for clear vision at both near and distance.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re committed to providing our patients with the highest quality care and service, and that includes the diagnosis and co-management of cataracts. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and let us help you achieve and maintain optimal eye health.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Eye Injuries at Home&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Although the family home is often seen as a safe haven, medical statistics suggest otherwise. Shockingly, nearly half of all eye injuries each year occur in and around the home, with home-based injuries on the rise. Surprisingly, responses from a recent public survey commissioned by the American Academy of Ophthalmology seem to align with the common belief that the home is a fairly non-threatening environment, with less than half of the survey respondents citing the home &#8211; especially the yard or garage &#8211; as the most common site of serious eye injury.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the survey revealed that only 35 percent of participants always wear protective eye wear when engaging in home repair or projects. It&#8217;s clear that we need to better understand the risks associated with activities around the home and take steps to protect ourselves from potentially serious eye injuries.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Diagram of the Eye<br \/>\n&#8220;][vc_column_text]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1324\" src=\"http:\/\/bayareaeyecenterpearland.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/eye.gif\" alt=\"eye\" width=\"300\" height=\"342\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Diabetic Eye Disease&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye problems that people with diabetes may face as a complication of diabetes.
