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.
