Cataracts: The Causes And Symptoms

A cataract is a term used to describe a condition in which normally clear eye lens becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision similar to looking through a foggy window. Cloudy vision is quite dangerous, as it may cause difficulty reading and driving, especially at night. As cataracts are slow forming, they might not cause any problems at first, but over time, they will cause vision problems. Eyeglasses and better lighting may help improve symptoms of cataracts; however, surgery may eventually be required if the clouding becomes worse.
