Frequent Squinting to See Clearly

Squinting reduces incoming light and narrows the focus of vision — briefly improving clarity. As cataracts progress, many people squint without realizing it, especially while reading signs or watching TV.

What This Can Signal

  • Cataract progression

  • Reduced contrast sensitivity

  • Changing lens clarity
