Question 1

Do I have Cataracts?

Accepted Answer

Cataracts develop gradually and often start with subtle vision changes like cloudiness, glare, halos, or difficulty seeing at night. You may also notice faded colors or frequent prescription changes. While these symptoms can suggest cataracts, a comprehensive eye exam is the only way to confirm the diagnosis and assess severity.

Cataract surgery is often covered by insurance, including Medicare, when deemed medically necessary. Typically, insurance covers at least 80% of the cost of the surgery and sometimes covers more.

Question 5
