The symptoms of cataracts usually develop gradually. Patients often notice:

  • Blurred vision: The world appears as if through a veil or fog.
  • Scattered light points: Especially at night or in bright light, light sources can split into many small points.
  • Light sensitivity: Bright light is perceived as unpleasant.
  • Frequent changes in glasses prescription: Vision changes rapidly, and glasses need to be adjusted repeatedly.
  • Discolored vision: Colors appear paler or yellowish.
