My dad kept saying his glasses “weren’t working properly” anymore, which didn’t make much sense because he had already changed them not that long ago. He started complaining that night driving felt more stressful, headlights looked too harsh, and reading the newspaper needed brighter light than before. At first, we all just thought it was age catching up or maybe the wrong prescription again.

What surprised me later was finding out that it was actually cataracts

I always thought cataracts just meant blurry vision in a general sense, but it’s more like the lens inside the eye slowly becomes cloudy. So instead of vision simply getting “weak,” things can start looking dull, hazy, less sharp, and more sensitive to glare. In my dad’s case, the changes were so gradual that nobody really noticed how much his vision had changed until normal things like driving and reading started becoming frustrating. From what I learned, this is why cataracts can be easy to ignore in the beginning. People may assume it’s just aging, screen strain, or a glasses problem, when the issue is actually the lens getting cloudy over time. It made me realize that when someone keeps saying their vision feels off even after changing glasses, it might be worth looking beyond just the prescription.
