What Are Cataracts?

In a healthy eye, the lens is clear and transparent. Cataracts occur when the lens becomes cloudy, preventing light from reaching the back of the eye and leading to blurred or reduced vision.

Over time, cataracts can worsen, causing your vision to become increasingly cloudy. A straightforward procedure can replace the cloudy lens with an artificial one, restoring clear vision.

What Causes Cataracts?

Cataracts are a common part of aging and cannot be delayed or prevented entirely. However, other factors may contribute, including:

Eye conditions or previous eye surgeries

Eye injuries

Diabetes

Certain medications, such as steroids

Poor diet lacking essential vitamins and minerals

Smoking

Prolonged exposure to sunlight

Symptoms of Cataracts

Although cataracts usually affect both eyes, one eye may be more affected than the other, leading to differences in vision. Common symptoms include:

General clouding of vision

Colours appearing dull or slightly yellow

Vision that seems “washed out”

Difficulty with tasks such as reading fine print

Increased sensitivity to bright lights, such as sunlight or car headlights (glare)
