Cataracts

Symptoms of Cataracts

These are some of the symptoms most commonly associated with the onset of cataracts:

  • Blurry vision
  • Need more light to read
  • Difficulty with glare from bright sunlight, headlights or lamps
  • Increased eyestrain
  • Seeing double with one eye open
  • Filmy, foggy or cloudy vision
  • Colors seem faded or yellowish
  • Frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescription
  • Dark areas or shadows that move with the eye
  • A new ability to see up close without using reading glasses, often called "second sight"

You most likely need cataract surgery if:

  • You have been told you have a cataract that hinders your ability to see
  • Your vision no longer meets your needs and interferes with daily activities
  • Your eyesight can no longer be improved with glasses
  • You want something done to improve your vision
  • Your eye doctor recommends surgical treatment
