There are several types of cataracts including:
The most common symptom of a cataract is cloudy or blurred vision. People also experience glare, poor night vision, double vision or frequent prescription changes in glasses or contact lenses.
Sometimes treatment can include simply adjusting glasses or adding anti-glare filters. Most likely, surgery will be recommended if the cataract is affecting your everyday life activities such as driving, reading or watching TV. Surgery is the most effective form of treatment to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens. Most patients can resume normal activity after a short recovery.
