Cataracts Diagnosis & Treatment
Cataracts are a common cause of vision changes as we age, but with the right care, they don’t have to interfere with your daily life. At Dr. Neil Rubin Optometry, Dr. Neil Rubin provides thorough cataract evaluations in Wantagh, New York, and personalized treatment plans tailored to your visual needs. Whether you’re starting to notice vision changes or exploring cataract surgery options, we can help you see more clearly with expert, compassionate care.
What are cataracts?
Cataracts are a common age-related condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, making it difficult to see clearly. Over time, this clouding can cause symptoms like blurred or hazy vision, increased sensitivity to glare, trouble seeing at night, and colors appearing dull or faded. Cataracts can develop slowly, so you might not notice vision changes right away, but routine eye exams with a qualified optometrist like Dr. Rubin can help catch them early.
Cataract treatment in Wantagh, NY
In the early stages of cataracts, surgery is often not necessary. Dr. Rubin may recommend a new glasses or contact lens prescription, improved lighting, or lifestyle changes to help you manage your vision. Regular monitoring is important, and we’ll keep a close eye on how your cataracts progress using advanced diagnostic tools.
When is cataract surgery necessary?
Cataract surgery is usually recommended when your vision loss begins to affect your quality of life. This safe, effective procedure replaces your cloudy natural lens with a clear artificial lens. Dr. Rubin works closely with your surgeon to ensure a smooth experience and provides cataract surgery post-op care in our Wantagh office.
