The retina and eye lens work closely like a camera lens to enable us to see things at both far and close range points. The eye lens contains protein and water; cataracts cause the accumulation of protein and, therefore, trouble in reading small print. In fact, blurry reading and loss of vision are other signs of cataracts.

There are symptoms of cataracts in humans and others in animals; they are in a way or another similar. As a human, you can at least notice the surfacing of such symptoms and do something about them. Double vision in lay terms and Diplopia in medical terms is another symptom of eye cataract.

Things start with the cloudiness of vision, but then the light passing through the lens gets distorted, resulting in double vision. There is another case of Diplopia which is relevant to the eyes’ improper alignment. However, these two conditions must be distinguished from one another.

Whether you wear eyeglasses or contacts, you must pay heed to the eyeglasses’ and contact lens prescription expiration. This is a part of ensuring your visual well-being. In the first stages of cataracts’ development, people who had to wear reading eyeglasses will no longer need them.

This is deceiving and temporary eye improvement. This is not going to last, and they will soon experience increased strength of the prescription of glasses and contact lens. This unearths the changes to which the lenses’ density are subject.

To uncover all these secrets in your eyes, an annual eye checkup is required. If you have a health insurance policy, then the issue of costs is sorted out.

Any patient who is diagnosed with a given disease or a medical condition, be it cataracts or the likes, at an early stage, s/he has higher chances of recovery and survival. So, listen to your body and abide by the annual medical exams’ schedule to live longer and healthily.
