Symptoms of cataracts can include any or all of the following:

• Blurred, hazy, or "milky" vision, as if looking through a dirty or cloudy piece of glass, or through glasses that always seem to need cleaning
• Difficulty reading regular print and/or street signs
• Needing a brighter, more focused light for reading and other close tasks, such as sewing and crafts
• Problems with glare, especially bright sunlight and room lights
• Sensitivity to oncoming headlights while driving at night
• Difficulty seeing at night
• Seeing "halos" around lights, especially at night
• Problems telling certain colors apart, such as navy blue, brown, and black, or blue, green, and purple
• Problems with depth perception, such as judging the height of a step or curb, or the depth of a bathtub
• Frequent changes in prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses
• Development – or worsening – of nearsightedness
• Double vision (diplopia), or seeing a "ghost" image when using the affected eye. Double vision can also be a sign of a serious neurological condition and always needs to be evaluated by a doctor.
