HOW WILL I KNOW IF I HAVE A CATARACT?
Symptoms that could indicate the presence of a cataract include; difficulty reading in low light, blurred or double vision, a gradual dulling of colors, halos around lights, glare when driving, or simply the frequent need to change your glasses prescription. A cataract can progress until eventually there is a complete loss of vision in your eye. Surgery is the only treatment for a cataract. You should consider surgery when cataracts cause enough loss of vision to interfere with your daily activities.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH MY VISION?
Presbyopia
All of us notice a significant change in our vision sometime around the age of 45. It seems like we wake up one day and can’t focus up close, and reading glasses become a constant companion.
This condition is called presbyopia and comes from the gradual hardening of the lens in the eye. As we age, the lens doesn’t flex as well, losing its ability to shift focus between distance and near, and reading becomes difficult without magnification. Presbyopia afflicts everyone over the age of 45.
Cataract
At birth, our natural lens is clear, but as we age it yellows and hardens. In addition, the lens may become cloudy and vision becomes more blurred.
This condition is called a cataract, and is usually a result of the natural aging process. Everyone will at some point develop cataracts, usually after age 60. Since a cataract affects the clarity of the lens, it prohibits light from passing through easily, causing the retina to receive blurred or distorted images.
