🌟 Clear Vision Ahead: Cataract Care & Prevention with Dr. Zayed at Luminous Vision Eyecare

Are you noticing cloudy vision, glare from lights, or trouble seeing at night? These could be signs of cataracts—a common age-related condition that affects millions of people. At Luminous Vision Eyecare, Dr. Zayed offers expert cataract evaluations, personalized care, and proactive strategies to help you protect your vision for years to come.


👁️ What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision. They typically develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Common symptoms include:

  • Cloudy or blurry vision

  • Sensitivity to light and glare

  • Difficulty seeing at night

  • Fading or yellowing of colors

  • Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription


🔍 Cataract Diagnosis & Monitoring

Using advanced diagnostic tools, Dr. Zayed can detect cataracts early and monitor their progression. Regular eye exams are essential—especially for adults over 60 or those with risk factors like diabetes, smoking, or prolonged sun exposure.


🛡️ How to Reduce Cataract Risk & Slow Progression

While cataracts are often age-related, there are steps you can take to protect your eyes and delay their development:

  • UV Protection: Wear sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. UV exposure accelerates lens clouding.

  • Nutrition: Eat a diet rich in antioxidants like vitamins C and E, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Leafy greens, citrus fruits, and colorful vegetables support lens health.

  • Quit Smoking: Smoking increases oxidative stress and speeds up cataract formation.

  • Avoid Steroid Eye Drops: Long-term use of corticosteroid eye drops can increase the risk of cataracts.

  • Manage Health Conditions: Keep diabetes and blood pressure under control to reduce eye complications.

  • Regular Eye Exams: Early detection allows for better management and planning.


🏥 When Is Cataract Surgery Needed?

Cataract surgery is recommended when vision loss begins to interfere with daily activities. While surgery isn’t performed in-office, Dr. Zayed partners with trusted local ophthalmologists to ensure seamless care—from diagnosis to post-operative follow-up.
We’ll help you:

  • Understand your options

  • Choose the right time for surgery
