Q. What causes cloudy vision?
A. When you have cloudy eyesight, it may seem like you’re looking at the world through a foggy window. Cataracts are the most common cause of clouded vision. Most cataracts develop slowly, but usually become worse over time. They can often develop more rapidly in one eye than the other. Indications that a cataract may be forming include haziness and blurred, distorted or even double vision; an increasing need for more light; and sensitivity to bright light, especially at night. During your eye examination, your optometrist will analyze for any opacity in the lens of your eye, to determine if you have a cataract.
