Cataracts tend to develop slowly over time and at first you may not even notice any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger you will begin to notice some blurred vision and glare, and as the cataract allows less light to reach your retina, so your vision will become more and more impaired. Additional cataract symptoms include: blurred, clouded or dimmed vision, strained vision at night, sensitivity to light and glare, halos around lights, fading or yellowing of colors, double vision, and eyestrain.
