What are Cataracts?
Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing vision to become blurry or dim. They are common in older adults and may develop due to ageing, injury, or other eye conditions. Symptoms include difficulty seeing clearly, glare from lights, and reduced colour perception. Cataracts can be treated with surgery to replace the cloudy lens. Carrying an ICE card helps ensure emergency personnel understand your vision challenges and provide appropriate assistance.
