What Are Cataracts?
Understanding the Leading Cause of Vision Loss in Older Adults
Cataracts occur when the natural lens in your eye becomes cloudy, usually due to aging. This cloudiness scatters light and makes vision blurry or dim. Cataracts typically develop slowly and may not cause symptoms right away, but over time, they can interfere with everyday activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces.
Diagnosing Cataracts
What to Expect During a Cataract Test
At Clearly Eye Care, we use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm the presence of cataracts and assess their impact on your vision.
A comprehensive cataract exam includes:
- Visual acuity testing – Measures clarity of vision
- Slit-lamp examination – Gives a magnified view of your lens and cornea
- Retinal exam – Evaluates the back of the eye
- Tonometry – Checks eye pressure to rule out other conditions
- Dilation – Opens the pupil to examine the lens in detail
Cataract ICD-10 Code
We use the appropriate ICD-10 medical codes for documentation and insurance purposes.
The most commonly used ICD-10 codes for age-related cataracts:
- H25.0 – Age-related, Initial stage
- H25.1 – Age-related nuclear cataract
- H25.2 – Age-related cataract, morgagnian type
- H26.0 – Infantile and juvenile cataract
- H26.1 – Traumatic cataract
- H26.2 – Complicated cataract

Symptoms of Cataract
Cataract symptoms can vary depending on the severity and type of cataract, but common signs include:
- Cloudy or blurry vision
- Sensitivity to light or glare
- Poor night vision
- Colors appearing faded or yellowed
- Double vision in one eye
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions
As soon as you begin experiencing any of these symptoms, contact your Optometrist immediately. Clearly Eyecare recommends regular eye exams.
Cataract Treatment
Managing Vision Changes and Preparing for Surgery
Cataracts doesn’t always require immediate surgery. In early stages, vision can often be improved with stronger eyeglasses, better lighting, or magnifying lenses. When cataracts start to interfere with your daily life, surgery becomes the most effective solution.
1. Surgical Co-Management
We’ll refer you to a trusted local cataract surgeon and coordinate pre- and post-operative care.
2. Artificial Eye Lens Implants
During surgery, the cloudy lens is replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). Several types are available, including:
- Monofocal Lenses – Clear vision at one distance
- Multifocal Lenses – Corrects vision at multiple distances
- Toric Lenses – Designed for patients with astigmatism
3. Cataract Surgery Recovery Support
We guide patients through post-operative care, help manage prescriptions, and monitor healing progress.

Cataract Frequently Asked Questions
Most cataracts are age-related, but they can also result from trauma, medical conditions like diabetes, prolonged steroid use, or excessive sun exposure.
To the person with cataracts, it can look like you’re viewing the world through a foggy or frosted window. The lens of the eye itself appears cloudy when examined by a doctor.
In early stages, glasses or lighting changes may help. Eventually, cataract surgery is the most effective treatment; it replaces the cloudy lens with an artificial one.
Once removed, cataracts don’t return. However, a cloudy membrane (posterior capsule opacification) can develop behind the new lens. This is easily treated with a quick laser procedure.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures in the U.S. The surgery typically takes 15-30 minutes per eye, and it’s performed on an outpatient basis.
Most people return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, with full recovery expected in a few weeks.
