Cataract Symptoms

Cataracts tend to develop gradually. You might notice blurred vision, increased glare — especially when driving at night — halos around lights, faded colours, or that your glasses just don't seem to work as well as they used to. If any of that sounds familiar, cataract is a common explanation.

That said, not all blurred vision is cataract. Conditions such as macular degeneration and other retinal conditions can present similarly but require different treatment. An assessment is the only way to tell them apart.

Are these symptoms cataract-related?

If glasses aren't keeping up with the changes you're noticing, an assessment can confirm whether cataract is the cause — and when, if ever, surgery would help.
