Understanding Cataracts
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural crystalline lens. The lens assists with focusing light rays on to the retina, which translates the image to the brain. After the lens starts to cloud, it is impossible to return the lens to its clear state with medications, and cataract surgery will be required. Some people think a cataract is a growth on the outside of the eye, but a cataract is actually the gradual clouding occurring with the lens located inside your eye, just behind the pupil. Various factors may increase the onset of a cataract, but it is said that if we live long enough, everyone will develop a cataract sooner or later. UV radiation and cigarette smoking have been listed as potentially likely to increase the development of a cataract.
See Better After Cataract Surgery
Cataract patients now have an option to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! Individuals suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery. NEW premium lens implant technology can now decrease dependence on glasses after surgery. If you are seeking the ReSTOR® or ReZOOM® IOL lens options in Florida Dr. Benaim & Dr. Shuster can help you decide if this option is right for you! Dr. Benaim & Dr. Shuster also have an accommodating IOL option known as the Crystalens®. For more information regarding selecting the appropriate lens implant please visit our web page on Premium Lens Implants.

Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery procedure that removes the excess eyelid skin which can sometimes impair eyesight as part of the natural aging process. Blepharoplasty can also be a cosmetic surgery procedure for patients seeking facial rejuvenation by improving the appearance of "bags" under their eyes. Please contact Dr. Benaim and the friendly staff of Jupiter Eye Institute of Florida to discuss your medical or cosmetic eyelid surgery options.
