Inside our eyes, we have a natural lens - much like a contact lens. This lens bends light rays that enter into the eye that produce the clear vision that we would normally see. When you are a baby, this lens is almost always clear. However, as we age and due to external factors (such as too much sun) this lens can become "cloudy" or "foggy." The result is blurry vision. Instead of looking through a clear lens on the inside of your eye, you are now looking through a foggy lens. This is what eye doctors commonly refer to as a Cataract.
Up North Eye Care has the technology and expertise to diagnose and co-manage this eye disorder at their eye clinic located between Staples and Baxter Minnesota. Since eye surgery is often needed to replace the cloudy lens, Up North Eye Care has relationships with the best eye surgeons in the area where it is very normal for our eye clinic to diagnose cataracts and educate patients before surgery and then provide post-operation and continuation of primary care after surgery as well.
