Did you know that more than 25 million Americans are currently affected by cataracts? That number is expected to rise to 38.5 million by 2032 and 45.6 million by 2050.
Cataracts develop gradually, clouding the eye’s natural lens and eventually leading to vision loss. They’re one of the most common age-related eye conditions, often going unnoticed until everyday activities like reading, driving at night, or distinguishing colors become more difficult.
To raise awareness and promote early detection, Prevent Blindness has designated June as Cataract Awareness Month, highlighting the symptoms, risk factors, and available treatment options for this vision-threatening condition.
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, don’t wait—schedule a comprehensive eye exam with your eye doctor. Cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure that can restore clear vision—often reducing or, in some cases, eliminating the need for glasses.
