What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts occur when the clear lens inside the eye becomes cloudy, making vision appear blurry, dim, or hazy. They usually develop slowly and are very common with age.

Many people first notice cataracts when:

  • Night driving becomes harder
  • Lights cause glare or halos
  • Colors look faded
  • Reading requires brighter light
