The cloudy lens scatters light and makes it hard for the eye to focus light into a clear image. As the cataract gets worse, eye has a harder time focusing. This can cause blurred vision, glare, light scattering (increased sensitivity to light) or even double vision. The vision is dispersed and colors are faded. Patients complain of having reading difficulties, problems with face recognition and with driving. Sometimes, progressive, advanced cataract leads to myopia (patient notes that he sees better the close located objects than before the appearance of cataract). Cataract sometimes may lead to complete loss of vision. Cataract may be due to general medical conditions or eye illnesses, but most commonly it occurs with age (senile cataract).<br \/>\nThe only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<video id=\"my-video\" class=\"video-js vjs-big-play-centered vjs-fluid\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" data-setup=\"{&quot;controls&quot;: true, &quot;autoplay&quot;: false, &quot;preload&quot;: &quot;auto&quot;}\"><source src=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies\/Cat_Anim_Cataract_Formation.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><track kind=\"captions\" src=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cat_Anim_Cataract_Formation_EN.vtt\" srclang=\"en\" label=\"English\" default=\"\" \/><\/video>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<div class=\" agni-image custom-image-container text-center\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"agni-image-figure\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" width=\"884\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Zacma-2-e1621584262357.jpg\" class=\"fullwidth-image attachment-full  attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"Zacma (2)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Zacma-2-e1621584262357.jpg 884w, https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Zacma-2-e1621584262357-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Zacma-2-e1621584262357-768x260.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more about treatments<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner bg_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space]<div class=\" agni-image custom-image-container text-center\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"agni-image-figure\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/surgery\/cataract-surgery\/\"  target=\"_self\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"146\" src=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pikto-7.png\" class=\"fullwidth-image attachment-full  attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"Cataract surgery\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;text_element&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/surgery\/cataract-surgery\/\"><strong>Cataract surgery<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner bg_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space]<div class=\" agni-image custom-image-container text-center\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"agni-image-figure\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/cataract-surgery-laser\/\"  target=\"_self\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"146\" src=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pikto-6.png\" class=\"fullwidth-image attachment-full  attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"Laser cataract surgery\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;text_element&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/cataract-surgery-laser\/\"><strong>Chataract surgery laser<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Cataract\u00a0\u2013 is a progressive, degenerative eye disease, which presents itself as a clouding of the eye\u2019s normally clear lens.
