The 5 Silent Signs of Cataracts and their Symptoms

Are you grappling with increasingly blurred vision, struggling to read signs, or finding it challenging to see clearly, especially at night? You may be encountering one of the more serious eye conditions: cataracts. These inconspicuous culprits can quietly erode your eyesight, often without your immediate awareness.

Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about your eye health.

Here are cataract signs and symptoms you may recognise:

Your visual clarity has diminished

Have you noticed your once-sharp vision gradually becoming less distinct, impacting your ability to focus on the finer details of life? Cataracts could be contributing to this gradual blurring.

You are beginning to see glare and halos

Do you see halos around lights? Especially when driving at night. These optical disturbances might indicate symptoms of cataracts, causing light to scatter within your eye.

You see dull colours

Have you observed a reduction in the vibrancy of colours, with the world appearing less vivid than before? Cataracts can lead to a muted colour perception.

You have difficulty seeing in low-contrast settings

Is discerning objects in low-contrast settings proving to be a challenge? Cataracts might be compromising your ability to perceive subtle differences in light and shadow.

You are experiencing double vision

Are you experiencing double vision, either in one eye or both? Cataracts can affect the way light enters your eye, causing this distressing visual phenomenon.

Cataracts are a matter that shouldn’t be underestimated, as they can gradually encroach upon your visual clarity. Our dedicated team of professionals with Dan Nguyen are here to guide you towards a proactive stance in preserving your eyesight.

To Mr Nguyen, Thank you so very much, the berries are very red, as are the traffic lights…and I can see my cat’s whiskers!

I never thought I would describe eye surgery as a pleasant experience, but it was; you are a gifted person. I am sure you have heard this many times before, but the contrast before and after such a short surgery is truly remarkable.

I never imagined the difference it would make, black and grey cows now look black and white! Such an amazing difference. I consider, we, as human beings are very privileged to be able to have this treatment.

I cannot thank you enough for the care and attention given to me during my recent cataract removals. As someone of a somewhat nervous disposition, you made the whole experience less stressful than otherwise it might have been.

It is now just over a year since you carried out the procedure on my second eye. I still awake in wonder each morning when I wake and can see clearly.

Thank you for the new lens you fitted to my right eye. I cannot believe how much better my vision is – massive improvement for driving.

I was facing the possibility of being unable to drive because of poor vision, but now, after 70 plus years of wearing spectacles, I no longer need them! Amazing! Added to that, my snooker has improved enormously!

A portrait representing Mr. D.V., a patient of Dan Nguyen Ophthalmologist, who underwent lens replacementMr DV

The miraculous improvement from my extreme short-sightedness coupled with cataracts in both eyes is a massive life change, and I am enormously grateful to you all. I wish to thank you most sincerely for all the expertise, care and kindness shown to me.

From my initial consultation through to walking out the door following surgery, I found the whole process to be fantastic and could not have wished for a nicer experience.

I am very pleased to say my eyesight is so much better. I am so delighted that I can see very clearly again, no blurred vision at all. It’s brilliant.
