WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS AND CURES FOR CATARACTS?

Monday,

June 26, 11

a.m.

Join Dr. Frank Lee, an ophthalmologist with Nevada Eye Physicians, on June 26 and learn about the symptoms and treatments for Cataracts, one of the leading causes of visual decline in people above the age 50.

Human eyes have a natural lens inside the eye that helps focus and see things. Due to the natural aging process, the natural lens can become cloudy and interfere with vision.

If you have difficulty with activities, such as night driving, watching TV, reading, computer work etc., you should have your eyes checked.

Cataract surgery is the best cure for this condition. It is one of the most simple and successful procedures performed in medicine today After surgery, patients usually return to regular activities within 24-48 hours. Please register at the Front Desk by June 24.

• Please wait 7 days from date you return the form and call 702-6761815 to determine whether they will require you to have an in-person evaluation.

• If you are approved, you will pay a reduced fare when using Paratransit Services.

Paratransit Ride Programs
