What happens if eye number increases after Cataract surgery?
3 weeks ago
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed my vision becoming cloudy, especially when reading small text or driving at night. Bright lights feel glaring and uncomfortable too. Could these symptoms be early signs of cataracts? At what point should I see an eye specialist to get it checked?

When you start noticing cloudy or blurred vision, more difficulty reading small print, trouble driving at night, or a lot of glare and discomfort from bright lights, these can indeed be early signs of cataracts. These changes usually happen because the natural lens inside your eye is slowly becoming less clear over time, which is common with age and can be worsened by factors like diabetes, long-term sun exposure, or smoking.
You don’t need to wait until your vision becomes very poor to see an eye specialist. It’s a good idea to book an eye check-up as soon as these symptoms begin to bother you in daily life. For example, if you are straining to read, feeling unsafe while driving at night, or not seeing well even with your current glasses. During the visit, the doctor can confirm whether you have cataracts and also rule out other eye problems such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or issues with the cornea. Catching the problem early helps plan the right treatment at the right time and prevents your vision from getting worse unnecessarily.
