What Are Cataracts?

A Common Cause of Vision Changes

Cataracts develop gradually as the eye’s natural lens becomes clouded, often because of aging or long-term UV exposure. Over time, this clouding can make vision appear dim, blurry, or yellowed, making it harder to read, drive, or recognize faces.

Types of Cataracts

Nuclear Cataracts

Develop in the center of the lens and are often associated with age.

Cortical Cataracts

Begin on the outer edge of the lens and work inward, causing glare and contrast issues.

Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts

Affect the back of the lens and can cause visual difficulty in bright light or when reading.

Congenital Cataracts

Present at birth or develop in childhood and may require early intervention.

Dr. Bowen is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and always takes time to fully explain complex issues to me in a manner that is easy to understand. I always enjoy his willingness to answer all of my questions, and I never leave feeling like something may have been missed. I’ve had complex issues with my eyes, and I’ve seen other well known doctors in our area, but I feel that the care I’ve received from Dr. Bowen and his level of expertise is superior. I trust that he has my best interest in mind and that is invaluable. He gives me information on warning signs to watch for and goes above and beyond to make sure my vision is protected. If you want a thorough eye exam that goes beyond what many offices do, schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowen.
