Cataract Surgery
Is Your Vision Suffering from Cataracts?
Gradual changes in vision can often go unnoticed if you do not have regular eye exams. If you are age 60 or older, your vision may be suffering from cataracts. However, you may be subconsciously compensating for these vision changes or simply think that you have to live with inferior vision as you grow older. This could not be farther from the truth.
Cataracts Are Treatable
Although cataracts affect half of all Americans by age 75, this is a treatable condition with cataract surgery. At Pennachio Eye we perform cataract surgery to help patients restore their clear vision. Cataract surgery is considered a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced doctor like Dr. Michael P. Pennachio.

Eye Exams Are Essential
An eye exam will detect the presence and severity of cataracts. It is quite common to have cataracts but still be able to live your life without them affecting your day-to-day life. As they grow in size and opacity, they can make it more difficult to drive, read, work, participate in sports and do hobbies. It will be up to you to decide when you want to improve your vision – and your quality of life – through cataract surgery.
While some people may never need to have surgery, this condition can lead to blindness. Untreated cataracts are the main cause of blindness worldwide.
Dr. Pennachio has performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. I could not be happier with the results and the service. I cannot say enough about the kind and professional service I received at the Eustis office and the Surgery Center.
