What is the Cause of Cataracts?

Cataracts are formed in the eye when proteins and fibers break down, causing a cloudy haze to appear over the eye's lens. This is usually caused by age. The risk of cataracts can increase if you have other health conditions, such as glaucoma, diabetes, and obesity. Smoking can also increase your risk of getting cataracts.

Some symptoms of cataracts are:

• Blurry vision
• Seeing halos around lights
• Needing more light to read or do small crafts
• Sensitivity to light
• Noticing things look faded or yellow
• Difficulty seeing at night
• Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
• Double vision

Even children can get cataracts! It is crucial to book regular eye exam visits to monitor any symptoms. Call today and Dr. Lennon will measure the growth of the condition.
