Most cataracts develop slowly over the course of years.
The main symptom is blurry vision. Having cataracts can be like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window.
When a cataract interferes with someone's usual activities, the cloudy lens can be replaced with a clear, artificial lens. This is generally a safe, outpatient procedure.
