Click here for more details and other recent news about cataracts. Symptoms Common symptoms of cataracts include hazy or blurred vision, increased glare from bright lights or sunlight, seeing halos around lights, light sensitivity, night vision difficulty, double vision in one eye or temporarily improved near vision. A nuclear cataract is most commonly seen as it forms, due to aging changes. Unfortunately, the improved vision is short lived and will disappear as the cataract worsens. A cortical cataract gradually extends spokes from the outside of the lens to the center.
Many diabetics develop cortical cataracts.
A plastic lens a surgeon might use to replace the cataract patient's clouded one. The Array Multifocal by Allergan provides near, intermediate, and distance vision. A subcapsular cataract begins at the back of the lens and may not produce any symptoms until the cataract is well developed. Think about surgery when your cataracts have developed enough to seriously impair your vision and affect your daily life. Many people consider poor vision simply a factor of aging, but cataract surgery is a simple, relatively painless procedure to regain vision.
