cataracts are a common eye disease, especially in middle-aged and elderly people. This is a blurred vision of the glass, a part that helps converge light for the eye to see clearly. cataracts will cause vision to decline over time. However, due to slow progress, many people only detect the disease when it is too late.
Dr Supriya Sriganesh -philologist at Nethradhama Eye Hospital (Bangalore, India) - said that when patients start to notice blurred vision, they are often used to that impaired vision, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Many people only know that they have cataracts when their vision is seriously impaired and need surgery.
Here are some initial signs that people should pay attention to in order to detect and treat the disease early:
Seeing two images even if it is just one object: Patients often see two images of a single object, even if they have only one open eye. This is a sign that is easily confused with eye strain or common vision problems.
Light around the light: At night, patients may see colored light around headlights, street lights or car lights, making it difficult to drive.
Poor vision in the dark: Clear vision at night or in low light conditions is significantly reduced, making everything blurred and lackluster.
Looking blurred, blurred like through a layer of blurred glass: Phosphering the glass does not improve vision, because the cause lies deep inside the eyes.
Difficulty reading small letters: Even when wearing glasses, patients still have difficulty reading books or text, especially in low light.
Must change glasses regularly: Continuous changes in glasses that do not improve vision can be an early sign of cataracts.
Dr. Sriganesh emphasizes the importance of regular eye check-ups every year, especially for people over 40 years old.
Early examination helps detect unusual signs, monitor disease progression and intervene promptly before vision is seriously affected.
