CATARACTS
What Is A Cataract?
Normal Vs. Cataract Vision
As we get older, the natural crystalline lens inside our eyes can become cloudy
or yellow. This causes blurry or faded vision, like someone is slowly turning down
the dimmer on a light switch. The resulting cloudiness is called a cataract. The
cataract causes light rays passing through the eye’s crystalline lens to scatter
and become unfocused.
By age 60, most people will have some cataract formation, although it may not require
treatment until later. Virtually everyone with a cataract also has a condition called
presbyopia (loss of near vision, requiring eyeglasses to see up close).
Some common signs that cataracts are affecting your vision are:
- Hazy or blurry vision
- Faded colours
- Sensitivity to light
- Difficulty driving at night
- Difficulty reading or seeing in low light
- The need for stronger eyeglasses
