Cataract Care in Dothan, AL

What Are Cataracts?

A cataract forms when the natural lens inside the eye becomes cloudy. As the lens loses clarity, light cannot focus properly on the retina, which can make everyday tasks more difficult. Many people in Dothan first notice cataract symptoms while reading, driving, watching TV, or trying to see clearly in bright sunlight.

Cataracts usually develop slowly, so symptoms may be easy to overlook at first. A comprehensive cataract evaluation allows our eye doctor to assess the severity of the cataract and how much it is affecting your vision.

Signs You May Need a Cataract Evaluation

You may benefit from cataract care if you are experiencing:

• Blurry, cloudy, or dim vision

• Increased glare or halos around lights

• Difficulty seeing at night

• Faded or yellowed colors

• Frequent prescription changes

• Trouble reading or doing close-up tasks

• Vision that no longer improves well with glasses
  
  

These symptoms can affect your independence, comfort, and safety. If cataracts are interfering with your daily routine, our Dothan eye care team can help you explore your options.

Personalized Cataract Treatment Options

Before recommending surgery, our eye doctor will perform a thorough exam and discuss your symptoms, visual goals, and lifestyle needs. This helps us determine the right approach and lens option for your eyes.

Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. Depending on your eye health and vision goals, different lens options may be available, including advanced options such as RxSight Light Adjustable Lenses. These lenses allow your eye doctor to fine-tune your vision after surgery using a series of light treatments, helping customize your results based on how your eyes heal. Our team will explain these choices clearly so you understand what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
