Cataracts occur naturally as the eyes age and a build up of protein causes a clouding of the eye’s lens. By age 65 more than 90% of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. Over time, the cataract may grow larger and cloud more of the lens, worsening vision. In addition, cataracts can result from exposure to toxic substances, diseases such as diabetes, or arise after an eye injury.
A cataract can develop in one or both eyes and fortunately can be treated with a common and safe surgery.
Blurry or cloudy vision
Sensitivity to light and glare
Difficulty seeing at night
Faded or yellow colors
Double vision in one eye
Seeing halo’s around lights
If these symptoms sound familiar, it might be time to schedule a cataract evaluation.
Every patient’s vision is unique. That’s why we take a personalized approach to cataract care. During your consultation, we’ll use advanced diagnostic tools to determine the best course of treatment.
The best way to know if you are a candidate for cataract surgery is to schedule a consultation at our office. During your consultation we will go over the common symptoms of cataracts and you may be asked to fill out a lifestyle questionnaire. This questionnaire will help determine your next steps in scheduling a cataract appointment with Dennis Kilpatrick, MD, our surgeon.
How Cataract Surgery Works
I highly recommend Dr. Kilpatrick! I had cataract surgery on both of my eyes by Dr. Kilpatrick. Having severe issues with stigmatism I was concerned. I consulted with other Ophthalmologist in the area , however , I felt most comfortable with Dr. Kilpatrick as he was patient , caring , communicative and I have excellent results …which are life changing for me. His office , staff and the surgical center are also excellent and made the process a pleasant experience overall.”
Dr. Kilpatrick’s attention to detail truly stood out. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explained everything clearly, ensuring I understood every step of the process. What impressed me most was his hidden thoroughness—his ability to address not just the obvious issues, but also to identify and prevent potential concerns that I hadn’t even considered. It’s clear that he and his team prioritize comprehensive care, leaving no stone unturned.
I have been a patient here at Scottsdale Eye Physicians and Surgeons for many years now. Dr. Dennis Kilpatrick has taken very good care of my vision AND did both of my cataract surgeries for me.. My husband also sees the Doctors at Scottsdale Eye Physicians and Surgeons and is pleased with his experience. The staff and team are always friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I totally trust Dr. Dennis Kilpatrick, who on occasion tells some really funny jokes.
