Think You Need New Glasses? You Might Have Cataracts
Overview
Many seniors believe that upgrading their glasses or getting a stronger prescription will bring back the clear vision of their youth. However, cataracts might actually be the culprit behind their declining eyesight.
Why Cataracts Matter
Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in adults aged 55 and older. In fact, over half of those over 65 experience some level of cataract development. If you're concerned about cataracts, consider reaching out to EyeCare America's Seniors EyeCare Program for assistance. This initiative provides eye exams and care for seniors who lack access to an ophthalmologist. Check eligibility for yourself or a loved one by calling 1-800-222-EYES (3937). The help line operates 24/7 throughout the year.
As one satisfied patient, Hazel Dalton, shared: "I was thrilled with the care from EyeCare America. The doctor discovered cataracts in both eyes, requiring immediate attention. Within a month after surgery, I was doing great. Thank you, EyeCare America!"
Understanding Cataracts
A cataract is the clouding of the eye's lens, which focuses light to create clear images. This lens is enclosed in a capsule, and as old cells die, they can accumulate within it, leading to cloudiness and blurry or fuzzy images. In the early stages, better lighting and eyeglasses might help, but eventually, surgery could become necessary. Cataract surgery is the most common surgery in the U.S., with over 90 percent of patients regaining useful vision afterward.
EyeCare America's Offerings
Eligible participants in the EyeCare America program receive a dilated medical exam and up to a year of care without out-of-pocket costs. Thanks to a network of 7,500 volunteer ophthalmologists, the care is provided with waived co-payments, accepting Medicare as full payment. Patients without insurance incur no charges.
Eligibility for the Seniors EyeCare Program
- Must be U.S. citizens or legal residents
- Age 65 or older
- Haven't seen an ophthalmologist in three or more years
- Not members of an HMO or the VA
The program is co-sponsored by the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc. and Alcon.
Hazel Dalton further expressed, "I was more than pleased with the care I received from EyeCare America."
