Learn MoreWhat is a Cataract?
A cataract is a painless clouding of the lens of the eye that progresses gradually. It is not fully known why cataracts develop. However, genetics and a number of eye diseases and injuries are thought to be at least partly responsible for a large number of cases. Cataracts are very common and cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the United States.

Cataract Symptoms
Cataract symptoms include blurred vision, as well as glare or halos around lights. The symptoms of cataracts can negatively affect a person’s life in many ways. For example, they can make driving difficult, especially at night, which can result in a loss of independence and greater inconvenience for those affected. Additionally, sufferers may find it increasingly difficult to read due to the blurred vision caused by cataracts. Cataract surgery at Eye Associates of Wilmington helps patients resolve these issues.
Types of Cataracts
There are three kinds of cataracts, each affecting a different area of the eye. All of them can be treated at Eye Associates of Wilmington in North Carolina with Lifestyle IOLs. If you would like to discuss the latest cataract treatments at Eye Associates of Wilmington, contact our office today for a consultation. In the meantime, here is an overview of the cataract problems many people face.
Nuclear Cataract
This is the most common type of cataract. It forms in the center of the lens (the nucleus) and, for many, is a natural part of the aging process.
Cortical Cataract
This type of cataract forms in the lens cortex (the portion surrounding the center of the lens) and can gradually extend to the outer edges of the eye. Many diabetics experience this type of cataract.
Subcapsular Cataract
This type of cataract begins at the back of the lens and may develop in people with diabetes, retinis pigmentosa, or high farsightedness, or as a result of steroid use.
