Frequently Asked
Questions
What is a cataract?
Light entering the eye passes through its lens. The lens focuses that light on the retina at the back of the eye. A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens. A clouded lens interferes with how light passes through it, in much the same way that fingerprints or smears on a window interfere with your view of what is on the other side of the glass. Some people with cataracts have described their vision as “looking at the world through waxed paper.”
How would I know if a cataract is the cause of my vision problem?
A cataract does NOT generally cause pain, discomfort, redness, a discharge, or sudden, alarming changes that would lead you to seek immediate medical care. Rather, the changes caused by a cataract generally develop so slowly that you probably won’t notice them until they are serious to affect your normal lifestyle.
Clouded, blurred vision may mean that you have a cataract. You may also notice other changes in the way you see.
- A cataract may also cause your eyeglass prescription to change more often than before, and it may be the reason why your new glasses aren’t helping you as well as expected.
- A cataract can also make it difficult to read, particularly in low-light situations, or when you are trying to decipher the small print on a TV screen.
- If you have a cataract, you may be unable to recognize the face of a friend on the other side of a large room.
- A cataract changes the way the eye handles bright lights, which can make driving, particularly driving at night, difficult. Glare from the lights of oncoming cars may make it harder to read road signs.
- It’s not uncommon for someone who has a cataract to complain that they can no longer follow the progress of their golf ball…that it just blends in with the sky…or that they are having trouble keeping an eye on their tennis ball. If you lose track of your ball after you serve or tee off, you may have a cataract.
- A cataract can make vibrant colors look dull or washed out. This change occurs so gradually that you may not realize that the colors of various articles of clothing clash, that your shoes or socks don’t match, or that those pink roses are actually red. Look around. If your world looks more pastel than it did a few years ago, a cataract (rather than the latest fashion trend) may be responsible.
