CATARACT: SIGNS, SYMPTOMS & TREATMENT OPTIONS

Are you experiencing hazy or blurry vision? It could be a sign of cataract.

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens in the eye, which can lead to blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, and sensitivity to light. If left untreated, cataracts can significantly impact the quality of life.

Symptoms of cataracts may include:
- Blurry, hazy, or cloudy vision
- Difficulty seeing in dim light
- Seeing halos around lights
- Double vision in one eye
- Fading or yellowing of colours

Cataract can only be treated surgically, that’s why cataract surgery might be necessary. Don't panic! This is a common procedure where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens, restoring your vision back to normal.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an eye exam with an experienced ophthalmologist. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing further vision loss.
