Understanding Cataracts: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments by Dr. Chameen Sams


Understanding cataracts is essential for maintaining eye health, especially in Australia, where the condition is prevalent among the aging population. Cataracts occur when the eye's lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, difficulty with night vision, and sensitivity to light.
Common symptoms include seeing halos around lights, frequent changes in prescription glasses, and colors appearing faded.


In Australia, cataract surgery is a common and highly successful procedure, involving the removal of the cloudy lens and replacement with an artificial one.
Regular eye check-ups and awareness of symptoms are vital for timely treatment.


Stay informed and consult with an eye care professional to ensure optimal eye health.
