Many cataract patients notice colors don’t look as vibrant as before. Whites may appear yellow, and bright colors lose intensity.

MiVision offers same-week cataract evaluations to determine the cause and guide treatment.

Common Causes

Cataracts

  • The natural lens becomes cloudy, blocking and scattering light.

  • Vision may feel dull, foggy, or dim even with updated glasses.

Reduced Contrast Sensitivity

  • Early cataracts reduce the ability to distinguish fine detail.

  • Patients often say “things look darker” or “washed out.”

Dry Eye Syndrome

  • Tear film instability can cause hazy or fluctuating vision.

Treatment Options
