What are cataracts?

A cataract is the clouding of your eye’s natural lens, located behind the iris. This clouding typically develops gradually and can interfere with vision over time. Cataracts are most often age-related but can also result from injury, certain medications, or medical conditions like diabetes.

Common signs and symptoms

If you notice any of the following, it could be a sign of cataracts:

Blurry or cloudy vision
Sensitivity to light and glare
Difficulty seeing at night
Faded or yellowing colors
Double vision in one eye
Frequent changes in glasses prescription

These symptoms may come on slowly, which is why regular eye exams are crucial for early detection.

How cataracts affect your vision

In their early stages, cataracts may have little impact. But as they progress, they can interfere with daily tasks like driving, reading, or recognizing faces. Your central and peripheral vision can both be affected, depending on the type and location of the cataract.
