What Are the Signs of Cataracts?

Cataracts develop gradually, so patients may not notice them until they’re more advanced. Cataracts do not cause pain, redness, discharge, or other symptoms that would normally merit a quick trip to the eye doctor. Instead, many patients with cataracts often describe feeling as if they’re looking at the world through waxed paper or fog. If you’re over 55 and have any of the following symptoms, you may have a cataract:

• Cloudy or blurry vision
• Frequent changes to glasses prescription
• Trouble reading in low lighting
• Difficulty with nighttime driving due to glare
• Losing track of the ball during sports like golf or tennis
• Colors appearing faded or washed out
