At every eye exam your doctor will run tests to determine if you have cataracts. They do this by looking at the lens of the eye. Some signs of cataracts are blurry vision or cloudy vision. Color perception may be off, the density not quite as bright. You become sensitive to the glare of lights. This can be common and cataracts are painless so go undetected. Night driving could be an issue, along with reading the road signs in the darkness. It is now a bit harder to read the fine print and you can experience double vision. If your prescription keeps changing it is time to consider that it could be the development of a cataract. It is best to be aware of the signs and do not take eye health for granted. See your eye doctor regularly, and if need be make an appointment if you notice anything that could be effecting your eyesight.

Key Takeaways:

• Many cataracts remain diagnosed in the early stages, because they are a painless condition and sight effects are often subtle.
• Oftentimes cataract sufferers will experience blurry vision, which can also be a symptom of glaucoma.
• Another clue is that colors will start to get harder to identify,with whites, for example, appearing yellowish.
