Signs You Might Have Eye Cataracts

Warm Spring Optometric Group  Discusses Cataracs: Warning Signs and Treatments

If you think you might be suffering from cataracts, or you have had a sudden change in your vision, Dr. Michael Fauria and Dr. Susan Pirrone at Warm Springs Optometric Group in Fremont recommend you get checked out immediately.
 

Cataracts Are Cloudy Lenses

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens covering your eye. It can cause a reduction or your vision that glasses won’t cure. Cataracts are common in older adults and can be caused by aging, genetics, or injuries to your eyes.
 

Warning Signs Of Cataracts

Many people with cataracts first report their vision becomes fuzzy or hazy. They compare it to looking through a smudged window.
 

It is important to pay attention to changes in your vision even if they do not appear serious. You may be noticing the start of cataracts if you are experiencing any of these symptoms:
 

• Fuzzy, Hazy, or Cloudy vision
• Double vision or Hazy vision
• Difficulty driving at night, including seeing halos around lights
• Difficulty seeing well at night
• Brown or yellow tinge to your eye
• Light sensitivity
• Colors appear differently than you remember

In advanced stages, you may be able to detect a whitish or gray film over your eyes.
 

Beware Sudden Vision Changes

A sudden change in your vision may indicate cataracts, but they also may be signs of something more serious. This can include potentially life-threatening conditions, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or brain tumors. It is critical that you get an optometry exam immediately if you notice a rapid change in your vision.
