Symptoms Of Cataracts

Signs and symptoms of cataracts include:

    Clouded, blurred or dim vision
    Increasing difficulty with vision at night
    Sensitivity to light and glare
    Seeing "halos" around lights
    Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription
    Fading or yellowing of colors
    Double vision in a single eye

At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye's lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens and distorts the light passing through the lens. This may lead to signs and symptoms you're more likely to notice.

When to see a doctor
Make an appointment for an eye exam if you notice any changes in your vision. If you develop sudden vision changes, such as double vision or blurriness, see your doctor right away.
