Cataracts grow slowly over time, meaning initial symptoms are mild at first. At Michigan Eyecare Institute, we serve the areas of Southfield, Livonia, and Dearborn, MI, by providing eye exams to check for cataracts. Certain habits and health issues like smoking, high blood pressure, exposure to radiation, not protecting your eyes from the sun, and steroid medication use can make you more likely to get cataracts. The important thing is knowing the signs and when to visit an optometrist.
It's normal for your eyes to be blurry occasionally, but blurry or cloudy vision is often one of the first cataract signs.
As we age, it is often harder to see at night and this may be a sign of cataracts. Cataracts make it hard to see at night because they can dim your vision.
When you have cataracts, your eyes may be more sensitive to light and even the sun.
You may notice you see halos around lights as cataracts grow.
As cataracts thicken, you will notice colors looking faded or even have a yellowish tent.
As cataracts progress, you may notice your eyeglasses prescription changing more frequently.
Going along with everything - the thickening of cataracts, the fading colors, difficulty seeing - you may feel you need more light to see things clearly, especially when reading.
It is crucial to make an appointment at Michigan Eyecare Institute when you notice changes to your vision. It may not be time to do anything about cataracts, but you and your eye doctor can begin to discuss it. We have three convenient locations in Southfield, Livonia, and Dearborn, MI.
