What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Blurred or hazy vision
  • Sensitivity to bright lights and glare
  • Faded colours or a yellowish tint
  • Difficulty driving at night
  • Haloes around lights

The good news? Cataract surgery is a quick, safe, and effective way to restore your vision!
