What is a cataract? Who gets them?

Cataracts are most often caused by our body's natural aging process, although they can be the result of heredity or injury. The natural crystalline lens of the eye is made mostly of water and protein. Usually by age 65, chemical changes in our body cause the natural lens of our eyes to grow cloudy or yellow, preventing light rays from focusing properly inside our eyes. Other symptoms can include hazy or blurred vision, colors that seem faded, light sensitivity and the need for stronger eyeglass prescriptions. If left untreated, cataracts will continue to worsen over time.

What is TECNIS™?

TECNIS™ is the FIRST and ONLY IOL approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to improve your function vision in low light situations—including night driving—and to provide a meaningful safety benefit for most older drivers.

Over the years, as our vision declines, objects in lower light conditions, such as a gray truck in the fog or a small child in a light-colored jacket at dusk, become much more difficult to see. Cataracts make this problem even worse.

To see if you are a candidate for TECNIS, please contact Chu Vision Institute to schedule a consultation.
