Cataracts are an eye disease that develops with age. When cataracts form, the natural lens in the eye begins to cloud. The clouding on the lens scatters light instead of focusing it on the retina. This can cause blurry or double vision as well as increased difficulty seeing at night.
Dallas eye surgeon, Dr. Carter provides his patients with many treatment options for cataracts. Dr. Carter will examine your eyes in a cataract consultation and determine which treatment option is best for your needs. He will answer all of your cataract questions in your consultation to help you understand cataracts and your treatment options.

- Vision that seems foggy or dimmed
- Trouble with night vision
- Sensitivity to light
