Cataracts are one of the most common age-related eye conditions affecting people of all backgrounds in Scotland. They cause blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty reading, making daily tasks harder. The good news is that cataracts are treatable—but early detection is key.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, preventing light from passing through properly. They develop gradually and can lead to significant vision loss if left untreated.
Signs of Cataracts:
- Cloudy or blurry vision
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- Difficulty seeing in low light
- Fading or yellowing of colours
- Frequent prescription changes
