When you get long in the tooth, meaning older you often have cataracts.Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye that can cause changes in vision.

Symptoms of cataracts include cloudy or fuzzy vision and sensitivity to glare. Cataracts are treated with surgery.

Needless to say my cataracts condition made it difficult to sail at night, not to mention drive. Now I live in East Patchogue but was I referred to a Dr. Ron J. LoPinto, MD a Comprehensive Ophthalmologist and Laser Cataract Surgeon by my older brother.
