Although cataracts are typically seen in middle age and older individuals, they can occur at any age. They represent one of the leading causes of impaired vision and blindness worldwide. They typically develop slowly, and most patients aren’t often aware of symptoms until they’ve have progressed significantly. Fortunately, there’s very effective treatment available which can restore a patient’s vision. In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss cataracts, their symptoms and management with Amir R.
