Major Symptoms of Cataracts

The major symptoms of cataracts include:

Cloudy, fuzzy, or blurry vision
Deteriorating night vision
Noticing a glare from bright sunlight, headlights, or lamps
Seeing a halo around lights
Noticing that colors seem faded or not being able to notice changes in color brightness.

Double or multiple vision
A frequent need to change your prescription for glasses or contacts
These symptoms may not be present at the early stage of cataract, which is mainly characterized by slight blurriness or difficulty changing focus from near to far. Existing symptoms progress and new symptoms develop at each stage. By the time you develop mature cataracts, you will notice significant blurriness and vision changes. It is important that you understand these symptoms, so you can catch cataracts or other vision problems early.
