Do you know the signs of cataracts?When you have a cataract, the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This makes seeing difficult. Cataracts can form very slowly. The first signs can be:

  • Clouded vision
  • Glaring or sensitivity to bright light
  • Poor night vision
  • Faded color vision
  • Double or multiple vision in one eye
  • Frequent changes in prescriptions for eyeglasses or contact lenses

Usually cataracts are related to aging. More than 17% of Americans ages 40 and older have a cataract in one or both eyes. More than half of all Americans ages 80 and older have cataracts.2 Other causes can be:

  • Using cigarettes or alcohol
  • Eye injuries
  • Excessive sun (UV) exposure
  • Certain medications
  • Diabetes
