Cataract Symptoms
What are the symptoms of cataracts?
Cataracts can affect your vision in several ways.
- You may have cloudy, fuzzy, or foggy vision.
- You may see glare from lamps or the sun. You may have trouble driving at night because of glare from car headlights.
- You may need to change your eyeglasses prescription often.
- Your near vision may improve for a short time if you get a cataract. This temporary improvement is called second sight.
The vision loss from a cataract often happens slowly. It may never become severe. Many times cataracts don't cause any vision problems.
