Cataract Surgery?

Cataract surgery can fix these
eye conditions.
Blurry Vision
Blurry vision at any distance is the most common symptom of cataracts. Your view may look foggy, filmy, or cloudy. Over time, as the cataract gets worse, less light reaches the retina. People with cataracts may have an especially hard time seeing and driving at night.
Glare from Lights
Another early symptom of cataracts is glare, or sensitivity to light. You may have trouble seeing in bright sunlight. Indoor lights that once didn't bother you now may seem too bright or have halos. Driving at night may become a problem because of the glare caused by streetlights and oncoming headlights.
Double Vision
Sometimes, cataracts can cause double vision (also known as diplopia) when you look with one eye. This is different than the double vision that comes from the eyes not lining up properly, which would give you double vision when looking out of both eyes together. With cataracts, images can appear double even with just one eye open.
