Symptoms of cataracts
Disease description:
Recently, my grandmother has been saying that she can't see clearly and her eyes feel slightly painful. Since it's common for older people to develop cataracts, we're quite concerned and would like to learn more about the symptoms of cataracts.

Symptoms of cataracts mainly include the following aspects:
1. Decreased vision: The most obvious symptom in cataract patients is gradually declining vision, primarily caused by lens opacity blocking light from reaching the retina.
2. Blurred vision: Lens opacity leads to blurred vision, especially when the central part of the lens becomes cloudy, making the blurriness more pronounced.
3. Color perception changes: Patients may experience altered color vision, such as colors appearing duller or distorted.
4. Monocular diplopia: When the lens swells or becomes opaque, it may cause abnormal light refraction, leading to double or multiple images in one eye.
5. Glare and poor night vision: Cataract patients may experience glare, particularly under bright light, and their night vision may also deteriorate.
