The symptoms of cataracts vary greatly from person to person, but we can identify a series of common symptoms:
- Increased sensitivity to light: people with cataracts are more sensitive to light, to the point where it becomes bothersome, especially when driving at night.
- Improved near vision: in some cases, patients with cataracts report a noticeable improvement in their near vision. This occurs during the early stages of cataract formation when the eye becomes more nearsighted, temporarily enhancing close-up vision.
- Blurred vision: this is one of the most common symptoms of cataracts. Patients experience a haze that obstructs clear vision, interfering with daily activities like watching TV or driving. At this stage, it is essential to consult a specialist, as neglecting treatment can lead to further vision loss as the cataract progresses.
