It happens when proteins in the eye lens break down and form clumps, leading to blurred or dimmed vision. Cataracts mostly develop due to aging, genetics, prolonged exposure to UV rays, and medical conditions like diabetes, or hypertension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cataracts do not appear overnight, they progress slowly. A stage comes when cataract affects everyday tasks like reading, driving, and recognizing faces. If left undiagnosed or untreated for long, it can also lead to blindness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Signs_That_Indicate_You_Need_Cataract_Surgery\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top Signs That Indicate You Need Cataract Surgery<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In early stages of cataract, it may be possible to manage with prescription glasses. However,\u00a0 surgery becomes the only option when cataracts become severe and impact daily life significantly. Following are the signs that indicate the immediate need for cataract surgery:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Blurry or Cloudy Vision<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel like you are constantly looking through a foggy window or a smudged glass, your eyes may have cataracts.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Increased Light Sensitivity\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cataracts can cause extreme sensitivity to bright lights like harsh sunlight and car headlights. If you experience discomfort in bright environments, or see halos around lights, it may be time to consider cataract surgery.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Poor Night Vision<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest red flags for cataract surgery is poor night vision and difficulty in driving at night. Cataracts can cause glare from headlights, making it very dangerous to drive. If you find night driving stressful, it is a strong indication that surgery might be necessary.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Difficulty In Day To Day Activities<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you struggle to focus on text or images and adjusting the brightness on your screens or increasing the font size no longer helps, cataracts may be interfering with your vision and it&#8217;s time to get them treated surgically.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Frequent Changes in Specs Number<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you needing new glasses or contact lenses more often than usual? It could be because of cataracts as they cause frequent shifts in vision. When glasses no longer improve your sight significantly, it may be time for cataract surgery.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fading or Yellowing of Colors<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cataracts can cause colors to appear dull or yellowish, making it difficult to distinguish between shades. If the world around you looks less vibrant, cataracts may be to blame.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/double-vision-diplopia-what-it-means-when-to-see-a-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Double Vision<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing double in one eye (monocular double vision).
