Cataracts

A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. Looking through a cloudy lens is like trying to see through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision can make it more difficult to read, drive a car — especially at night — or see the expression on a friend's face. Cataracts commonly affect distance vision and cause problems with glare. They generally don't cause irritation or pain. 

Signs and symptoms of cataracts include: 

• Clouded, blurred or dim vision
• Increasing difficulty with vision at night
• Sensitivity to light and glare
• Halos around lights
• The need for brighter light for reading and other activities
• Frequent changes in eyeglasses or contact lens prescription
• Fading or yellowing of colors
• Double vision in a single eye

Any symptoms or problems with your vision should be discussed with an eye care professional.
