Seven Signs You Might Have Eye Cataracts

The older you get, the more problems you apt to experience with your vision. Eye cataracts are a condition that can occur as early as 40 years of age but is most apparent in seniors 60 years or older. Cataracts that occur in middle age (40-50 years) are generally too small to affect your sight. By the age of 60, however, you may find this condition drastically impairing your vision. At Eye Care Specialists of Florida in Kissimmee, we can provide you with an accurate diagnosis of cataracts and recommend options for treatment.

Common Signs of Cataracts

If you have cataracts, you may complain of “cloudy” vision that impacts your reading, driving, watching TV or partaking of other activities. Cataracts generally take time to develop and only get worse as the years go by. In the early stages, you may notice no vision impairment at all. As the condition worsens, you may experience such symptoms as:

  • Clouded vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Loss of night vision
  • Glare
  • The appearance of “halos” (ringlets of light)
  • Double vision in one eye
  • Fading or yellowing of colors

Cataracts can be detected by our ophthalmology experts at Eye Care Specialists of Florida during a comprehensive eye exam. Upon detecting cataracts, we’ll determine if the condition is severe enough to warrant cataract surgery. Modern advances in cataract surgical procedures have made this treatment safe and effective in restoring your sight.

Do You Need Cataract Surgery?

Not everyone who has cataracts needs surgery. In the early stages, vision impairment from cataracts may be hardly noticeable at all. The problems may even be corrected by making adjustments to your eyeglass prescription. After examining your eyes and testing your sight, our ophthalmology specialists will determine the best course of action for treatment. If surgery is necessary, you’ll be in the best of hands. By seeing a Kissimmee eye doctor at the first sign of problems or changes with your vision, you can get an accurate diagnosis for your vision problems.
