Blurry vision?

If your vision has become blurry, cloudy or dim, or things you see are not as bright or colorful as they used to be, a cataract may have developed in one or both of your eyes. Many people say that their vision with cataracts is similar to the effect of looking through a dirty car windshield.

Your ophthalmologist (an eye doctor) can tell you whether a cataract or another problem is the cause of your vision loss.

Medina Regional Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of three board-certified ophthalmologists, Sharron Acosta, MD; Joseph Kavanagh, MD; and Scott Thomas, MD, to Specialty Clinic 2, located at 610 31st St. in Hondo. Please call 830-379-EYES (830-379-3937) for an appointment.
