What it is
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. It usually comes with age and progresses gradually.
Common symptoms
- Blurred or dim vision
- Glare from bright light
- Difficulty driving at night
- Faded colours
Treatment
When a cataract affects daily life, treatment is surgical: the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. Your ophthalmologist will discuss whether and when you need it.
