Not being able to read without the help of glasses is commonplace when we get older. But not everyone who is reaching for glasses when they turn 40 has the same problem with their eyes. Bad eyesight can be due to many different things. Cataract surgery Los Angeles is very common, and can cure bad eyesight that you thought was due to getting old.

The loss of eyesight due to cataracts is not something that you will experience over night. You may find it difficult to see at night, or virtually impossible to drive at night. These are issues that are not related with aging, and that should be addressed right away. If you are unable to see to drive at night you will be putting yourself and others that use the roads in danger too.

The only way to really confirm why your eyesight is getting bad and whether or not you are suffering from cataracts is by having a test. As the loss in sight is gradual it can be easy to ignore the problem. However, the condition is reversible, and a simply surgical procedure can put things right.

Both eyes or just one may be affected, although commonly both eyes will suffer. However, the operations you have will not be done on the same day. This will ensure that you will need limited time off work and that you are not left without being able to see anything. Once one eye recovers, you can go ahead and have the second procedure you need to fix your vision once and for all.

There is some pain associated with the surgery, but the benefits clearly outweighs the discomfort. The healing process is quite quick, and you will notice an improvement in your vision almost instantly. Imagine wiping away your glass when they get steamed up in the rain. You will see clearly for the first time in years, and the small amount of pain will be very worthwhile.

You optician will be able to confirm with you the reason for your failing sight. The cost of the operation will depend on many factors, depending on which Los Angeles clinic you use, and whether you have health insurance or not. As cataracts are sight impairing, the process is never deemed to be cosmetic.

When you are finding it difficult to read small print, do not presume that the problem is age related. Always visit your optician for a test at least once a year. This way you will always be aware of your eyes health. Although you may not notice any difference in your vision from one year to the next you will may be surprised what is found when testing. Also never simply buy reading glasses from a general store. These can also cause damage to your sight.

Cataracts will grow, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly. But the only way to reverse them is by having an operation. So, there is no point in putting off the inevitable. The sooner you have surgery the less complex the procedure and the quicker the recovery.
