Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but blurry vision doesn't have to be. We monitor your eye health, keep you informed, and partner with trusted surgeons when the time is right.
Cataracts develop slowly, and knowing when to act makes all the difference. At Santé Eyecare, we track the progression of your cataracts over time, help you understand how they're affecting your daily life, and connect you with a trusted surgical partner when you're ready.
Cataracts are the leading cause of reversible vision loss worldwide. Early detection and monitoring are key to staying ahead of them.
Adults 55 and older
Cataracts most commonly develop with age. Adults over 55 benefit from regular screening to catch changes early and track how they affect day to day vision.
High UV exposure or past injury
Long-term sun exposure, prior eye trauma, and certain medications can accelerate cataract development, even in younger patients.
Patients with diabetes
Diabetes significantly increases the risk of early cataract formation. Routine monitoring is especially important for diabetic patients.
Whether you've just noticed early changes or are considering surgery, our team will walk you through what's happening in your eye and what your best options are.
We assess the density and location of your cataracts and measure how they're affecting your vision, contrast sensitivity, and night driving.
We schedule follow up visits to track progression over time and update your prescription to maximize your vision while cataracts are still manageable.
When surgery is appropriate, we refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist and provide full preparation and follow up care, so you have consistent support throughout.

Early signs include blurry or hazy vision, increased sensitivity to glare and bright lights, difficulty seeing at night, faded colors, and frequent changes in your glasses prescription. Many people first notice issues with night driving or reading in low light.
There is currently no proven medication or drop that reverses cataracts. In early stages, an updated glasses prescription can help maximize your remaining vision. Surgery is the only definitive treatment, but many patients manage comfortably for years before reaching that point.
Surgery is typically recommended when cataracts interfere with your daily activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces, and can no longer be adequately corrected with glasses. Your optometrist will guide this conversation based on your exam findings and your personal goals.
We do not perform cataract surgery at our office, but we provide full coordinated care. We refer patients to experienced ophthalmologists and remain your primary provider for pre-surgery evaluation and follow up care after the procedure.
Standard cataract surgery is typically covered by Medicare and most medical insurance plans when deemed medically necessary. Premium lens implant options (such as multifocal or toric IOLs) may involve additional out-of-pocket costs. Our team can help you understand your coverage before any referral.
