About Cataract

Posted on October 11, 2016 Share

What is Cataract?

Cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens as we grow older. When the lens becomes cloudy, light cannot pass through unobstructed, and so the vision becomes blur.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of a cataract are:

  • Cloudy, blurry, or yellowing of vision.
  • Experiencing glare. For example, vision becomes blurry in bright sunlight.
  • Poor vision in dim light.

Treatment

Cataract can be treated with Cataract surgery, which has a high success rate in Singapore.

If you have concerns with vision-related issues caused by cataract, contact us at W Optics to find out more about our public forums available.
