LASIK MD Laser Eye Surgery – Cataracts

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that affects vision. Most cataracts are related to aging. By age 80, more than half of all North Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery! A cataract can occur in one or both eyes.

Cataract symptoms

Because cataract is a condition that worsens over time, so do its symptoms. The most common symptoms of a cataract are:

Cloudy or blurry vision
Faded appearance of colors
Glare: headlights, lamps, or sunlight may appear too bright (a halo may appear around lights)
Poor night vision
Double vision or multiple images in one eye
Frequent prescription changes in your eyeglasses or contact lenses

These symptoms also can be a sign of other vision problems. If you have any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you consult your ophthalmologist.
