A cataract is a clouding in the lens inside the eye. This may cause a loss or reduction in vision that glasses won’t cure. Dr. Saira A. Choudhri and the team of experts in optometry at Eye Care Specialists in Kissimmee Florida can help.

Signs You Might Have Eye Cataracts

Cataracts start out small enough that you may notice them. Over time, they can increase in size until it becomes obvious. At the first sign of a problem, eye exam to avoid the problem getting worse.

It may feel like you’re looking through a dirty window or everything appears a little hazy or fuzzy. Here are the warning signs that you may have cataracts.

9 Warning Signs of Cataracts:

  1. Blurry vision (even intermittently)
  2. A brown or yellow tinge to your eyes
  3. Inability to see well at night
  4. Increase sensitivity to light
  5. When driving, you see “halos” around lights
  6. A significant change in your vision
  7. Colors look dull, or differently than normal
  8. Double vision
  9. A whitish or gray film over your eye when looking in the mirror

If you suspect you might have a cataract, it is critical to get immediate medical attention. Rapid changes to your eyesight are also linked to other series conditions, including strokes, brain tumors, and other life-threatening conditions. Routine eye care examinations are vital to maintaining healthy vision. It is especially important to be vigilant of symptoms during June, which is fireworks safety month. Being unable to clearly see what is happening to your fireworks could lead to an accident.

Treating Cataracts

Even though cataracts are common, especially in older adults, they can be fairly simple to treat. If it is a cataract, your doctor can take the necessary steps to treat them and help restore your vision. Modern cataract surgery is safe and effective. More than 3 million are performed annually.

Surgery typically is out-patient and does not require an overnight stay. The cloudy lens is broken up and then removed. It is then replaced with an artificial lens to protect the eyes.
