Frequent Glasses Prescription Changes

If your glasses seem outdated every year—or even sooner—this may indicate cataract progression rather than simple refractive change.

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

Common Causes of Cloudy or Dim Vision

Cataracts

  • Lens changes alter how light focuses.
  • Vision may feel dull, foggy, or dim even with updated glasses.
  • Vision becomes unstable

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.

Glare and Light Scatter

Treatment Options

  1. Updated Glasses or Lighting Adjustments

    • May provide temporary improvement in early cases.

  2. Dry Eye Treatment

    • Improves tear quality and visual sharpness.

  4. Monitoring

    • Appropriate if the symptoms are mild.

What to Expect for Evaluation

Your visit may include:

  • Glasses and contact lens prescription testing

  • Dry eye evaluation

  • Dilated cataract exam

  • Retina and macula examination

  • OCT imaging if indicated

Our goal is to identify the exact cause so treatment can be tailored to your needs.
