Cataract Surgery Chicago - Lake County Gurnee

There have been various medical studies that have shown a correlation between hearing and vision. Hearing loss affects over 30 million Americans, 80% of these 30 million people go undiagnosed and go untreated. Vision and hearing are two of senses that most impact our day-to-day lives and experiences. From as early as our late twenties or early thirties we begin losing quality of sound. Unfortunately it takes a friend or family member to constantly bring to our attention that the television is too loud or we are always having questions repeated before we acknowledge that there could be a problem. Combine our hearing loss with the onset of cataracts or reduced vision and a simple day at the beach loses the beauty and serenity that it once did and ask ourselves"when did my vision and hearing get to this point?"
