What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. They typically develop with age but can also be linked to diabetes, long-term medication use, trauma, or genetics.
Common Cataract Symptoms:
- Cloudy or blurry vision
- Faded colours
- Glare and halos around lights
- Poor night vision
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription
