Even if you’re wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses for years, after your 40s you will experience a different change in your vision. And, by the 50s to 60s, you may notice it’s increasingly hard to see things and difficult to drive at night – even after upgrading your eyeglasses and contact lenses. It’s a common condition in older adults, and it can be cataracts. Cataracts can be treated by eye doctors.
Nuclear Cataracts affect the centre of the lens. It’s an excessive amount of yellowing and light scattering which can easily affect your eye. It begins with cloudy vision and double vision. It occurs in humans as well as dogs, horses and cats.
Cortical Cataracts attack the edges of the natural lens and are often wedge-shaped. As they develop, they harm the centre of the lens, and it reflects the vision.
A Posterior subcapsular cataract starts as a small and opaque area that usually forms near the back of the lens. It affects the back of the lens and then impacts the whole eye. It may interfere with your reading, reduces the vision in the light and causes glare or halos around lights at night.
Congenital cataract refers to a lens opacity which can affect the eye at the time of birth. This occurs in newborn babies for many reasons, including infection, diabetes, trauma and drug reactions.
Surgery is the only fruitful way to erase cataracts. It’s elective surgery, so, you need to have all the prescriptions by the doctor and a care team to schedule it. Surgery should be scheduled when your surgeon has approved your cataract surgery.
