Lens Opacity treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Clouding of the lens, also known as a cataract, occurs when the eye's naturally clear lens loses its transparency, which makes it harder for light to pass through and reduces the sharpness of vision.

Common symptoms: Blurred or cloudy vision, greater sensitivity to light, perception of less vivid colors, and difficulty seeing clearly at night.

Related factors: It is frequently linked to aging, though other factors can contribute to its appearance.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who examines the lens and guides follow-up, while the optometrist can assist with measuring vision. If vision becomes progressively blurry, it is a good idea to schedule an eye exam.
