Introduction to Cataracts: Cataracts are a common eye condition characterized by the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to impaired vision. As we age, proteins in the lens can clump together, forming cloudy areas that can obstruct light from passing through clearly. This results in blurred or dim vision, making everyday activities like reading or driving challenging.
Signs and Symptoms of Cataracts:
- Blurry or cloudy vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- Seeing “halos” around lights
- Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions
- Fading or yellowing of colors
- Double vision in a single eye
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult an eye specialist for a comprehensive eye exam.
Causes and Risk Factors: Cataracts primarily develop due to aging, but several other factors can contribute to their formation:
- Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet sunlight
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Previous eye injury or inflammation
- Prolonged use of corticosteroid medications
- Excessive alcohol consumption
