Cataract surgery: Cataracts are a natural change in the lens of the eye. As we age, the lens loses its clarity, causing vision to become dimmer. Additionally, glare around bright lights and prescription changes occur. The only treatment available for cataract is surgery to replace the cloudy lens with an artificial one that will never cloud up again. Your eye doctor can discuss the new lens options available.
