What is a Cataract?
Cataracts develop when the natural lens inside the eye becomes cloudy. As a result, your vision may appear blurred, dim, or yellowed. Although cataracts are common with age, they can interfere with everyday activities like reading, driving, and enjoying hobbies.

Cataracts may cause:
-
Cloudy or blurry vision
-
Glare and halos around headlights
