Has your vision also become blurred? This is an early sign of cataract, know what the doctor says

News Topical, Digital Desk : Eyes are an important part of our body. It is through them that we are able to see this beautiful world. But due to our bad lifestyle, our eyes are also getting seriously damaged. Cataract is also one of those diseases. If its symptoms are identified in time, then treatment can be easy.

What is cataract?

The doctor said that cataract is a cloudy part formed on the lens of the eye. In most cases, it occurs with aging. Its symptoms include blurred vision and seeing glare or  blur around light  . When this problem starts interfering with daily activities, the doctor recommends surgery. In this surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and a clean artificial lens is installed.

There are many types of cataract

He told that there can be many types of cataracts. Such as senile cataract that occurs with increasing age, traumatic cataract formed after an injury, complicated cataract caused by some eye diseases like uveitis, or drug-induced cataract formed due to long-term use of steroid medicines.

Cause of cataract

The biggest cause of cataract is the gradual breakdown of the protein present in the eye lens. However, in some cases it is also genetic. Due to this, some people   may develop cataract at an early age.

What are its symptoms?

Dr. Tarun said that when cataract starts developing in the eyes, some initial signs appear which should not be ignored.

• Blurred vision: You may see smoke in front of your eyes.
• Changes in colours: Colours don’t appear as bright and clear as before.
• Trouble with bright light: Bright sunlight, car headlights, or lamps can dazzle the eyes.
• Halos around lights: You may see halos or streaks around lights.
