Do you feel like your vision remains blurry even with your glasses on? Are you constantly wiping your lenses, adjusting lighting, or squinting just to see clearly? If wearing glasses doesn't seem to help much anymore, you might be dealing with cataracts — a common but often misunderstood eye condition.
At DRHC Dubai, we’re here to help you understand the signs of cataracts, how they affect your vision, and what you can do about them.
Cataracts occur when the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, affecting how light passes through to the retina. This clouding develops gradually, leading to blurred or dim vision, which is not fully corrected by glasses or contact lenses.
Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment worldwide, particularly in individuals over the age of 60. However, they can also affect younger people due to certain health conditions, medications, or eye injuries.
If your vision is not improving with corrective lenses, pay attention to the following symptoms:
These symptoms usually progress slowly, which is why many people don't realize they have cataracts until their daily life is affected.
While glasses can correct refractive errors (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), they can’t clear the clouded lens caused by cataracts. As the cataract worsens, it distorts the way light enters your eye — making even the best prescription ineffective.
Many people come to DRHC Dubai believing they just need stronger glasses. But after a thorough eye exam, we often discover that the real issue is cataracts.
Cataracts can develop due to a variety of reasons:
If you're struggling with poor vision despite wearing glasses, it's time to get a comprehensive eye exam. At DRHC Dubai, our expert ophthalmologists perform:
These tools allow us to detect cataracts early and determine their severity.
When cataracts begin to interfere with your daily life and glasses no longer help, surgery is the only effective treatment. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
At DRHC Dubai, we offer:
The procedure is quick, safe, and has an extremely high success rate. Most patients experience significant improvement in vision within a few days.
If you're wearing glasses but still struggling to see clearly, don’t ignore the signs. Cataracts are highly treatable, and early diagnosis can make a big difference in preserving your sight.
