Top 10 Signs of Cataracts

Frequent Changes in Contact Lens or Eyeglasses

When a cataract develops for the first time, it would actually lead to a temporary improvement in the near vision. As a result, many people who often need reading glasses might not need them anymore or require regular increases in the prescription glasses’ strength. This suggests that the density of your lenses is changing. The only way to deal with this issue is to have an appointment with your eye doctor. Because this is a silent symptom, make sure to exam your eyes annually with high illumination and high magnification checkups of the lens. You can also take preventive measures such as quitting smoking, consuming nutritional supplements (green leafy veggies or vitamins), and reduced sunlight exposure. [10]
