What Is a Cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, causing blurred, dim, or yellowish vision. It can affect one or both eyes and usually develops gradually. Cataract surgery is the only permanent and effective treatment to restore vision.

Common Symptoms of Cataracts

• Blurred or cloudy vision

• Difficulty seeing at night

• Sensitivity to light and glare

• Faded or yellowish colors

• Frequent change in spectacles

• Double vision in one eye

If these symptoms affect daily life, cataract surgery may be recommended.
