Serious Warning Signs of Cataracts

Increased Difficulty Seeing At Night

Individuals who have cataracts tend to have an increased difficulty seeing at night. The condition can make it very difficult to navigate or drive a car during the night. As we know, cataracts cause clouds to form on the eye's lens, and instead of getting a clear picture, patients feel like they're looking through a foggy window. The night vision difficulty can be attributed to a few things. First, the clouding of the eye's lens may make it more difficult to filter light and interpret light images. It's harder to see in the darkness because details are obscured. In addition, patients often see 'halos' around lights. This can make driving particularly difficult, since headlights and street lamps appear blurred.
