What Is a Cataract?
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision. It can affect one or both eyes and usually develops slowly over time. Cataract surgery is the only permanent and effective treatment to restore vision.
Common Symptoms of Cataract
- Blurred or cloudy vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- Faded or yellowish colors
- Frequent change in spectacles
- Double vision in one eye
If these symptoms interfere with daily activities, cataract surgery may be recommended.
