What is a cataract?
The natural lens of the eye is made mostly of water and protein. In a healthy lens, the protein is normally clear and permits light to pass through, but as we age, the protein can clump and begin to cloud the lens forming a cataract.
You do not have to be a senior citizen to have cataracts; they can start developing after 40, although usually at this stage they are not serious enough to have a significant effect on your vision.
What are the symptoms of a cataract?
- Blurred or cloudy vision
- Colors appear faded or dull
- Lamps such as headlights or streetlights may have glare or halos; sunlight or fluorescent lights may appear too bright
- Poor night vision
- Double or multiple vision in one eye
- Frequent prescription changes in your eyeglasses or contact lenses
As cataracts progress, the symptoms become more noticeable with common complaints of dull colors, glare, and problems with night vision. Cataracts will gradually limit the ability to perform simple and basic tasks such as reading, driving, seeing road signs, and even exercising.
