Most cataracts develop over a period of time.  Sometimes the development is so gradual that the individual may be unaware that he or she has a cataract.  Cataracts can affect vision in many ways.  Some of the more common symptoms of cataracts may include:

• Avoidance of night driving
• Halos around lights at night
• Increased glare in sunlight or with night driving
• Blurred vision
• Difficulty seeing street signs, reading fine print, or following a golf ball
• Colors appear faded or less vivid
• The inability to renew a driver’s license
• Frequent changes in eye glass prescriptions
