Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but when they begin to interfere with your daily life, surgery may be the right next step. At Hazel Family Eyecare, we partner with trusted local surgeons to co-manage your cataract care before and after surgery, so your experience stays familiar, consistent, and supported.

Cataract co-management means our eye doctors work directly with your cataract surgeon to handle evaluations, referrals, and follow-up. You’ll receive ongoing care at Hazel Family Eyecare—with the same team who knows your history, your vision needs, and your goals.

Cataracts develop slowly as the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy. This can lead to:
Blurred or hazy vision
Glare and halos, especially at night
Difficulty reading or driving
Colors that appear dull or faded
Frequent changes in your glasses prescription
We monitor these changes and recommend surgery when it becomes harder to do the things you enjoy.
Before surgery, we perform a comprehensive evaluation to:
Confirm that cataracts are affecting your vision.
Assess overall eye health and prescription stability.
Discuss how your vision is impacting your lifestyle.
Guide you through intraocular lens (IOL) options.
We’ll refer you to a trusted local cataract surgeon and stay in communication with their team throughout the process.


After your procedure, you’ll return to our office for regular follow-up care. We check healing progress, monitor for any issues, and ensure your prescription is stable.
Your surgical care may happen elsewhere, but your recovery happens with a team you already know and trust.

If you’ve been told you have cataracts or are struggling with vision that feels dim, blurry, or unresponsive to new glasses, we’re here to help.
