If you’ve been noticing changes in your vision, you’re not alone. Cataracts affect more than half of all Americans over age 65, and they’re one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. The good news? Cataract surgery is one of the safest, most effective procedures available today, with a success rate of over 95%.
