Ways to Tell If You Have Cataracts

Cataracts, usually an age-related condition, cause vision to deteriorate due to “cloudiness” on the lenses of the eyes. Like many other conditions, cataracts usually start small and may take time for symptoms to manifest. Common symptoms of cataracts are described below.

Increased Sensitivity to Brightness

Cataracts often make light appear uncomfortably bright to those with the condition. If a lamp that you’ve always had suddenly seems brighter, or if headlights are difficult for you to look at while driving, cataracts are a possibility. Similarly, trouble dealing with glare is a routinely reported effect.

Colors Appear Dull

Another common symptom of cataracts is the way color appears. If you’ve always had a good eye for color but lately they’ve been losing their luster and distinctiveness, this can be an indication of cataracts.

Blurred Vision

This is the widest set of cataract symptoms. Individuals with cataracts often report symptoms of impaired vision such as blurry, cloudy, or “double” vision. Many people describe their vision as h having a filmy or foggy quality. Cataracts can also cause images to become superimposed, which is very disorienting.
