Cataract Signs & Symptoms

Do you have Cataracts?

Cataracts occur when the proteins in the lens start to become cloudy and clumpy, which happens naturally with age. While some people start developing cataracts in their 40s, if you are over 55 years old, it is almost guaranteed that cataracts are developing in your lenses. The gradual clouding of the lens over time will impact your eyesight. Because it’s a gradual decline, you may not even notice at first.

Cataract Signs & Symptoms

As cataracts progress, symptoms may become more noticeable, and the glasses or contacts you rely on for better vision just don’t seem to help. Sharp images may become blurred, and night vision is difficult. You may experience:

  • Blurred or cloudy vision
  • Faded or dull colors
  • Glare or halos around lamps, headlights or streetlights
  • Sunlight or fluorescent lights may appear too bright
  • Poor night vision
  • Double or multiple vision in one eye
  • Frequent prescription changes for glasses or contacts that don’t make much of a difference in your vision

Cataracts can impact the ability to perform simple and basic tasks, including driving, seeing road signs, and exercising.

These symptoms may also indicate other eye problems. If you have any of them, make an appointment for a complete eye examination.
