What are Cataracts? - The Monroe Eye Center Rochester NY

Degenerative eye issues are a growing concern for individuals as they age, with conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy becoming increasingly prevalent. While these conditions can affect both men and women, some studies have suggested that women may be more susceptible to certain conditions than men.

Eye exams are a critical part of maintaining eye health and preserving vision. Regular eye exams can detect early signs of eye diseases and conditions, such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, and provide an opportunity for prompt treatment to prevent further vision loss.
