June is Cataract Awareness Month

June 2026

Cataract Awareness Month is a reminder of the impact cataracts can have on patients’ day-to-day vision and quality of life. While cataracts are common and highly treatable, changes can still go unaddressed if patients adjust gradually over time.

Routine exams help surface these changes, create opportunities for timely conversations and help educate patients on treatment options.

During Cataract Awareness Month, consider:

• Checking in with patients about changes in vision or glare
• Reinforcing the value of routine exams, particularly for at-risk populations
• Helping set expectations around treatment and outcomes

Early conversations can help lead to earlier diagnosis, improved vision and better quality of life for your patients.
