What to Do if You Get Something in Your Eye
July 31, 2019

Your eyes are very delicate, and they can easily be damaged when they come into contact with a foreign object. For this reason, it’s crucial that you exercise extreme caution when you get something in your eye.

Cataracts are a common age-related vision condition impacting more than 25 million Americans. When cataracts develop, your eye’s lens becomes cloudy, preventing it from focusing light properly on your retina. Over time, this results in a gradual deterioration of your vision and if left untreated, cataracts can eventually lead to blindness.

Fortunately, cataract surgery provides a safe and effective way to restore clear vision. During your procedure, your eye’s cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL).
