Cataracts are a common phenomenon, typically affecting older adults. They directly impact vision, underscoring the importance of understanding their stages for proper management. At The Retina Centre, our dedicated team offers detailed insights into cataract severity, ensuring you receive the best guidance for your vision health.
Early Cataract (Incipient Cataract)
In this stage, cataracts start to form, and vision blur, making you feel more sensitive to light, and colors may seem dull. But these are only the minor changes that are often unnoticed.
Moderate Cataract
With the surge of cataracts, vision is affected prominently. Clarity of the vision is adversely affected by blurriness or cloudiness, making daily tasks like reading, driving, and others difficult, especially in low-light conditions, and color loses its vibrancy. Some of them experience halos around lights.
Advanced Cataract
At this stage, cataracts reach their peak and drastically impair eyesight. As it completely blocks the vision even when you are in good light. Having double vision or sensitivity, recognizing faces, reading, and performing everyday tasks can feel strenuous.
Managing Cataracts
Regular eye check-ups are a must for early detection and management of cataracts. Any strong lightning and updated glasses will help in the early stages. When cataracts begin to impact your daily life, surgery is the recommended course of action. With technological advancement, cataract surgery is completely safe and effective, where the cloudy lens is substituted with a clear artificial lens.
