Have you ever wondered what it’s like to see through cataracts? Cataracts form when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, increased glare, and difficulty seeing at night. They often develop gradually with age, but factors such as genetics, UV exposure, or smoking can cause them to appear or progress more quickly. If you notice changes in your vision, schedule a consultation at flei.com to experience how expert care can make a difference. #flei #ophthalmology #eyehealthcare #cataracts #cataractsurgery #browardcounty
