A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurred or dim vision. It is one of the most common causes of vision loss, especially in older adults. Over time, cataracts can interfere with daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces.
Blurry or cloudy vision
Sensitivity to light or glare
Fading or yellowing of colors
Difficulty seeing at night
Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription
Natural aging process (most common)
Eye injuries or trauma
