What Cataracts Feel Like

Cataracts gradually cloud your natural lens, causing:

  • Blurry or foggy vision

  • Difficulty driving at night

  • Glare and halos around headlights

  • Colors that appear washed out

  • Needing brighter lighting for reading

  • Frequent changes in your glasses prescription

If these symptoms disrupt your daily life, a cataract evaluation can determine whether surgery will restore clarity.
