Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment, especially among older adults. If you are experiencing blurred vision, difficulty reading, increased sensitivity to light, or trouble seeing at night, it may be time for a comprehensive cataract evaluation.
At Prama Eye Centre, Goregaon West, Mumbai, Dr. Yogita Punjabi (M.B.B.S., M.S. Ophthalmologist, F.A.E.H — Glaucoma) offers advanced cataract screening and modern cataract surgery to help patients regain clear vision and improve their quality of life.
What is a Cataract?
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, preventing light from passing through properly. This clouding gradually affects vision and can interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces.
Cataracts commonly develop with age but can also occur due to:
- Diabetes
- Eye injuries
- Long-term steroid use
- Genetic factors
- Excessive UV exposure
- Previous eye surgeries
Common Symptoms of Cataracts
You should consider an eye examination if you experience:

Objects may appear hazy or out of focus.
Difficulty Seeing at Night
Night driving may become challenging due to glare and reduced visibility.
Increased Sensitivity to Light

Frequent Changes in Glasses Prescription
Vision may fluctuate despite updated spectacles.
Faded or Yellowed Colors
Colors may appear dull and less vibrant.
Double Vision in One Eye
