If you suspect you have cataracts, watch out for these common symptoms:

Blurry or cloudy vision

Decreased night vision

Seeing halos around lights

Increased sensitivity to light

Persistent film over the eyes that won't clear

Most cataracts develop slowly with age, but they can also be caused by other factors such as:

Excessive exposure to sunlight

Smoking

Excessive alcohol consumption

Obesity

High blood pressure

While it’s not entirely possible to prevent cataracts, you can take steps to slow their progression:
● Wear UV protection outdoors or when exposed to UV rays.
● Incorporate eye-friendly foods into your diet, such as small red beans, blueberries, pecans, red berries (cranberries, strawberries, raspberries), prunes, apples, artichokes, and dark green vegetables (kale, broccoli, etc.).

Consider scheduling a consultation with our eye care professional for personalized advice on managing cataracts effectively.
