Are things starting to look a little cloudy?

You might be experiencing cataracts — a natural change that happens when the clear lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, making it feel like you’re looking through a foggy window. 🌫️

Cataracts often develop slowly, but certain factors can speed them up — like diabetes, smoking, poor nutrition, eye injuries, or too much UV exposure.

Common signs include:
✨ Blurry or cloudy vision
🌈 Colors that look faded
🌙 Trouble seeing at night
💡 Glare or halos around lights
🔄 Needing to update your glasses prescription more often

The good news? Cataracts are highly treatable! During your eye exam, we can detect early signs and, if needed, refer you to a trusted local surgeon for cataract surgery — the only proven treatment to restore clear vision.

👓 Don’t wait until things get too blurry. Schedule your eye exam today!

Did you know diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults? The longer someone has diabetes, the higher the risk of vision complications:

🔹 75% chance after 20 years

Good blood sugar control and regular eye exams are key to protecting your sight.

Don’t wait for symptoms—schedule your comprehensive eye exam today. Clear vision starts with proactive care.
