7 Signs You Might Have Eye Cataracts

Holicki Eye Center & Optimal Discusses 7 Signs You Might Have Cataracts

Cataracts occur when the lens that covers the eye becomes cloudy, impairing normal vision. At Holicki Eye Centers & Optical in Coldwater, MI, Sturgis, MI, and Angola, IN, we offer careful monitoring of all our patients with cataracts. Here are seven common signs you might have cataracts that require treatment.

Blurred or Dim Vision

Individuals with cataracts will begin to notice problems with their vision that can interfere with normal tasks.

Poor Night Vision

If you have difficulty seeing at night, or find you need a brighter light to read, it could be because of cataracts.

Sensitivity to Light

Stepping out into bright light might hurt your eyes more than usual.

Halos around Lights

You may notice distracting halos around lights that make driving at night difficult, or even impossible. This is one of the classic signs of cataracts.

Frequent Changes in Eye Prescription

You may notice your vision becoming worse and needing a frequent change in your prescription to see well.

Fading or Yellowing of Colors

The clouding of the lens may affect how you see colors. You may see fading colors or yellow tint on objects.

Double Vision in One Eye

If you begin to notice double vision in one eye, but not the other, it could be a sign that cataracts are beginning to affect your vision negatively. Make an appointment with your eye doctor for a comprehensive exam and evaluation of your eye health.
