See Clearly: Cataract Awareness Month 2025 with Health Care Partners of South Carolina

June is Cataract Awareness Month. It’s the right time to talk about vision health. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss in the U.S. They affect millions — especially older adults.

At Health Care Partners of South Carolina, we’re here to help the Conway community see clearly. Our team provides affordable, expert eye care close to home.

What Are Cataracts?

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It can happen in one or both eyes. Cataracts often develop slowly and may not cause problems at first.

Common signs include:

  • Blurry vision

  • Trouble seeing at night

  • Glare or halos around lights

  • Colors looking faded

  • Double vision in one eye

Who Is at Risk?

Anyone can get cataracts. But some people are more likely to develop them.

Risk factors include:

  • Age 60 and older

  • Diabetes

  • Smoking

  • Too much sun exposure

  • Family history

  • Certain medications

If you have any of these risks, a yearly eye exam is a smart move.

Cataracts Can Be Treated

The good news? Cataracts can be removed with surgery. It’s one of the most common and successful procedures in healthcare today. Most people recover quickly and see clearly again.

Early detection makes a big difference. That’s why regular exams matter.
