What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that occurs as you age. This cloudiness blocks and distorts light passing through the eye, making your vision cloudy, dull and blurry. Over time, the cataract will grow larger and cloud more of the lens.
Common cataract symptoms include blurry or cloudy vision, trouble seeing well at night or in low light situations, glares or halos around lights, colors may appear duller and you may find that your glasses prescription changes frequently.
Cataracts cannot be treated with medication or glasses and will not go away on their own. Cataract surgery is the only treatment.
