Cataract is an age related condition of the natural lens of your eye where it gradually goes opaque. The lens is normally transparent, but in cataract it might change its hue to yellowish, amber, brown and white based on how advanced the cataract is.
It is a painless and slow process. It will cause gradual bluriness of vision and might also cause glare, polyopia(more than one image of things/objects), reduced near vision, difficulty in night driving. Your vision might feel as if you were looking through a dirty window. Some describe this as cloudiness of vision.
This can affect your capacity to drive and you may require referral to an eye surgeon to remove the cataract surgically through an operation so as to help you keep your driving licence and continue to drive.
The main symptoms of Cataract are as follows:
As the cataract continues to develop and worsens, so do the symptoms.
