What Exactly Are Cataracts?

Cataracts can cause vision loss.  They consist of protein deposits that build up on the lens of an eye.  The resulting accumulation keeps the lens from effectively performing its job, which is focusing light on the retina. As many as 24 million Americans who are least 40 have a cataract problem.  While some experience a cataract in just one eye, having them in both eyes is more typical.  Even with a cataract in each eye, the development of each accumulation might prove different. The most common symptoms our patients experience include:
  • Blurry or hazy vision
  • Refraction changes
  • Increased difficulty seeing in dark areas
  • Reduced color intensity
  • Increased glare sensitivity, particularly at night
Advancing age is not the only risk factor for developing a cataract problem.  Taking certain medications, consuming alcohol, and smoking are also important.  So is exposure to ultraviolet radiation; experiencing deficiencies in nutrition; and suffering from a certain health condition, among them diabetes.

How Are Cataracts Treated?

Cataract surgery is the only real way to get rid of cataracts and bring your clear vision back. During the procedure, we remove the cloudy lens inside your eye and replace it with something called an intraocular lens, or IOL. That’s a small, artificial lens that stays in your eye permanently — and the good news is, it’s crystal clear.

There are several types of IOLs available, and we’ll walk you through the options to find the one that fits your lifestyle best. Beyond just clearing up your vision, many IOLs can also correct things like nearsightedness or farsightedness, which means you might not need your glasses or contacts nearly as much after surgery.

Cataract Screenings & Management at Eye Care Center LTD

Cataracts develop gradually, often going unnoticed until they begin to interfere with daily life. Symptoms may include glare, halos, faded colors, or double vision. At Eye Care Center LTD, we perform detailed eye exams to determine cataract severity. If surgery is necessary, we refer you to top local cataract surgeons and provide continuous care before and after your procedure to ensure the best outcome.

Benefits of Cataract Screening

  • Early detection of vision loss from cataracts
  • Clear referral process to trusted local surgeons
  • Ongoing care before and after surgery
  • Improved quality of vision and daily functioning
  • Personalized guidance throughout the process

How We Diagnose Cataracts

During your visit, we look for early signs of cataracts using several tests, including:

  • Eye refraction tests to measure how light enters the eye
  • Eye pressure measurements (to rule out glaucoma as well)
  • Examination of the lens inside each eye for cloudiness
  • Color vision and glare sensitivity testing
  • Visual acuity measurements (how clearly you can see)
  • Retinal evaluation to assess the back of your eyes

Nour, once again gave me great service. I've known and have had the pleasure of Nour's assistance for a couple of years now. She helped me pick out new frames for my glasses. Can't wait to see them when they are ready. Thanks again for all your help!

Would recommend Dr. Jenna Bacerra to anyone of all ages! Previous eye doctors at corporate chains rushed through my eye exam but Dr. Bacerra described everything with great attention. My time went past 5 because I had so many questions but my dr. and the sweet lady that helped me with my paperwork reassured me it was okay 🙂
Response from the owner 03:22 28 Aug 25
Thank you so much Laura for your wonderful recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that Dr. Bacerra took the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer all your questions. Providing personalized, unhurried care is very important to us. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Dr. Bacerra and our team. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Customer Beware! This place is a total scam. They lie to you about your insurance to force you into paying a ton out of pocket and at the same time double bill your insurance for the same services that you just paid out of pocket.

Update:

I spoke to the owner. It was a great call. Definitely miscommunication which led to confusion and red flags. Eye Care center is not a scam. I remain a customer of Eye Care Center and look forward to continuing to use them for my eye care needs in the future.

Note: I have updated my rating from one star to four stars based on factors I believe justified my rating change.

My first visit to eyecare center was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, to the moment I left,care was outstanding. I'm a disabled veteran. I appreciate the time they took to explain everything to me. Although I received bad news, I left with a feeling of hope. Thank you!

The entire appointment was great. The office is located in a mall. Easy to find and plenty of parking. I was seen by the Med-tech as soon as we arrived. He was very kind and professional. As soon as the tech was finished his testing I went to see the DR. DR Albina was wonderful. He totally knew my vision situation and spoke to both my wife and I. It was a refreshing experience because he, in just a few minutes knew exactly what I have be dealing with for almost 40 years. He is going to stay in contact with me even though this was a one time visit set up by Veterans Evaluation Services. I highly recommend DR. Albina!

Cataract FAQs

What are the first signs of cataracts?
Blurred vision, glare from lights, difficulty seeing at night, or faded colors.
Do you perform cataract surgery in-house?
No, but we partner with expert surgeons and handle all your pre- and post-op care.
Will insurance cover cataract surgery?
Yes, most medical insurance plans---including Medicare---do cover cataract surgery when its medically necessary (e.g., if vision is significantly impaired). Please check with your insurer for specific coverage and copays.
Does Medicare cover cataract surgery?
Medicare may cover cataract surgery that implants conventional intraocular lenses, depending on where you live. Medicare doesn’t usually cover eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers one pair of eyeglasses with standard frames (or one set of contact lenses) after each cataract surgery that implants an intraocular lens.
