What Is A Cataract?

A cataract is a common eye disorder, which occurs when the clouding of the normally clear, natural crystalline lens of the eye. This clouding process will progress, until eventually there is a complete loss of vision. Neither diet nor laser treatment will make the cataract go away because this is a natural process of aging.  An ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) can diagnose cataracts during a routine eye exam and determine if eye surgery is necessary.  Fortunately, cataract surgery can help restore your vision, long before you experience a loss of vision significant enough to interfere with your daily activities.

Cataract Symptoms Include:

  • Light sensitivity
  • Halos (around lights)
  • Blurred or cloudy vision
  • Difficulty driving at night, even night blindness
  • Glare
  • Problems with depth perception
  • Colors seem faded
  • Frequent prescription changes

  • "Positive, life-changing results from surgery. I could not be happier that I found Dr. Jasmeet Dhaliwal and his team. At the Belmont / Harlem Surgery Center, Nurse Racheal provided clear patient guidance and expert surgery prep. The friendly anesthesiologist (Apologies, forgot his name.) performed a quick but thorough medical assurance Q&A.Dr. Dhaliwal performed a thorough pre-op check with a thoughtful bedside manner. A short time later, the surgery result was a success. A month later, I remain completely satisfied with the experience and outcome. What a wonderful difference."

  • "I've been a patient of Dr. Dhaliwal for more than 5 years. I've been pleased with the care that I've received from Dr. Dhaliwal and his office. Recently, Dr. Dhaliwal performed cataract surgeries on both of my eyes, replacing my lenses with astigmatic correcting lenses. The surgeries were flawless, recovery from the surgeries went as well as could be expected, and the care I received throughout the process was top-notch. I'm enjoying my better eyesight. I would highly recommend Dr. Dhaliwal and Chicagoland Eye Consultants to anyone needing eye care."
