    The early stages of cataract may be improved by using the right eye glasses, reading in a room with adequate lighting and using anti-glare sunglasses. If this doesn't solve the problem then I fear that surgery is the only way. Cataract is clouding of the eye lens which affects the vision. This causes blurry vision, poor night vision and it also causes headlights and sun light to be too bright and glaring. Doctors operate and remove the cloudy eye lens and replace it with an artificial lens. Once you have had a surgery you need to take adequate care and rest as advised by your doctor.

    A cataract is an eye disease in which the clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy opaque, causing decrease in vision.People with early cataract will find that changing their glasses, using sunglasses to decrease glare and having better lighting to read can significantly alleviate their symptoms. Magnifying lenses for close work and reading fine print may also be helpful.
    Many cataracts are not bothersome, causing few symptoms. In that situation, no surgical treatment is necessary.

    However, the only true treatment for cataract is surgical removal of the cloudy lens. Surgery is suggested if the patient loses the ability to perform necessary activities of everyday life, such as driving, reading, or looking at computer or video screens, even with glasses, and there is the expectation that vision will improve as a result of the surgery.
