What are Cataracts?
Cataracts are one of the sight-related complications of diabetes that can cause misting or blurring of vision. Cataracts are cloudy opacifications of the lens of the eye which can lead to cloudy or blurred vision. This interferes with your vision, in some cases considerably.
The main signs of cataracts are:
1. Cloudy or misty vision
2. Blurred vision
3. Spots in your vision
4. Being dazzled by bright lights
5. Seeing a circle of light around lights
6. A yellowing of your vision
Attending regular eye checks as part of your annual diabetic review will help your health team to identify any signs of cataracts at an early stage and advise on treatment.
