Eyeglasses 365 - Cataracts

Many adults as they age begin to develop cataracts. Cataracts cannot be corrected by new glasses. A cataract is a clouding of the clear and transparent lens of the eye. It is not a tumor, a growth of skin or tissue over the eye, but a clouding of the lens itself.

People with cataracts have a particularly difficult driving at night because the cloudy lens disperses the light and makes it very difficult to see.

Cataract surgery is recommended when the loss of vision make it difficult to engage in activities such as reading or driving. The decision to have the surgery should be based on the patient's evaluation of the impairment and how it affects his life style and the ability to perform normal functions.

If you are having trouble seeing clearly and performing your normal activities see a qualified doctor and have your vision tested. You may just need new glasses or you may be developing cataracts.
