Cataracts: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments
Inside our eye, we have a natural lens that focuses light onto the back of our eye to an area called the retina. The retina then sends the information to the brain to process and interpret the world around us. When we are born, the lens is clear, but then it gradually becomes cloudy and darkens as we age.
Common symptoms of cataracts include blurred vision that cannot be corrected with glasses, difficulty driving at night or in the rain. This can cause halos to be seen around oncoming headlights. Colors also start to appear more faded or yellow.
If you start to develop cataracts, it is important to see your eye doctor to discuss your symptoms and the appropriate time for surgery.
Explained is a series of short videos where Northside experts explain common patient questions.
