How do I know if I have a Cataract?

Cataracts usually develop slowly and without pain or redness. As a Cataract develops you may find yourself looking through a fogged over camera lens. But the changes tend to happen so slowly that you may not know what is wrong until it is severe. Sometimes the Cataract is small and placed in a position over the edges of the lens that surgery is not needed. Only when the quality of life is in question should the question of Cataract Surgery arise.
Increased nearsightedness with frequent prescription changes, blurred vision and glare from headlights, dulling of colors and double vision in one eye could mean you have Cataract surgery in your future. By the time Cataract surgery is called for, you know you have Cataracts. Once the Cataract is large, stronger glasses or contacts won’t help any longer to improve your sight.
If you have concerns, ask your Florida eye care professional to test for glare sensitivity, contrast sensitivity, night vision, color vision, and side or central vision during your regular exam. These extra test will help to determine if you are developing Cataracts and might need to get Cataract Surgery in Florida done.
