What are the symptoms of cataracts?

Common symptoms of cataracts include:

1. Blurred or Fuzzy Vision: Images may not be clear, and you may feel like you are looking through foggy glass.

2. Light Sensitivity: Sensitivity to bright lights increases. Headlights can be a common problem when driving at night.

3. Difficulty Seeing at Night: It may be difficult to see at night or in dim light.

4. Double Vision: You may see double vision (diplopia) even when looking with one eye.

5. Faded Colors: Some colors may appear faded or yellowish.

6. Frequent Changes in Eyeglass Prescription: Your eyeglass or contact lens prescription changes frequently.

7. Seeing Halos in Lights: You may see halos or rings around bright lights.

It is important to see an eye doctor if you think you have symptoms of cataracts. I have a few questions for you to better assess the next step for your history:

• How long have your symptoms been going on?
• Did your vision loss start suddenly or did it progress gradually?
• Do you feel pain in your eyes?
• Have you had any eye surgery before?
• Do you have chronic diseases such as diabetes?

Without waiting for your answers, I recommend that you see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) to better assess your condition. I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
