Cataracts,Patient Education

If you’re living in San Diego and noticing your vision getting a little blurrier each day, cataracts might be the reason. Cataracts are a common eye condition, especially as we age, and they can sneak up slowly making the world seem dimmer, foggier, or less colorful.

What Are Cataracts? 

A cataract forms when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy. Think of it like looking through a foggy window. This cloudiness can make everyday tasks like reading, driving at night, or recognizing faces more difficult. 

Cataracts develop gradually, often without pain or sudden changes. That’s why many people don’t realize their vision is declining until it starts affecting their daily life. 

Common Cataract Symptoms 

San Diego’s bright sunlight might make cataract symptoms more noticeable. Look out for: 

  • Trouble seeing at night 
  • Sensitivity to bright lights or glare 
  • Blurry or cloudy vision 
  • Faded or yellowed colors 
  • Seeing halos around lights 

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it may be time to see an eye doctor.
