From Cloudy to Clear: Expert Cataract Solutions
Did you know approximately 30% of individuals aged 65 or older have a visually impairing cataract in one or both eyes? This clouding of the eye’s natural lens can dramatically impact your life, causing problems like blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, and light sensitivity. At ReFocus Eye Health in Bloomfield, we specialize in diagnosing and treating cataracts, helping you regain the clarity to live a fulfilling life.
How Cataracts Affect Your Eyes
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens, a clear structure behind the iris. The lens helps to focus light onto the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. As you age, the proteins in the lens break down and form clumps. These clumps can cloud the lens and make reading, driving, and performing other everyday activities difficult.
The Factors That Increase Your Risk
This natural aging process can be accelerated by certain factors, such as:
- Age
- Genetics
- Health conditions like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension
- Tobacco use
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Certain medications
- Poor nutrition
- Previous eye injuries or surgeries

We employ advanced diagnostic techniques to diagnose and assess the extent of your cataracts. Our specialists take the time to understand your unique visual needs and concerns.
Cataract surgery is the only way to remove a cataract and restore clear vision. It’s a safe and effective procedure that can be performed right here at our surgical center. During surgery, your surgeon will make a small incision in the cornea and remove the cloudy lens to replace it with an artificial one called an intraocular lens (IOL). Cataract surgery is a very successful procedure with a more than 95% success rate.
