Primele semne ale cataractei pot apărea chiar de la 40 de ani. Modificările de vedere pe care mulți le pun pe seama îmbătrânirii

Cataract symptoms can begin as early as age 40, often mistaken for normal aging. Early signs include difficulty seeing at night and needing more light for reading. The condition progresses slowly, leading to potential vision loss. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection, as many ignore subtle changes. Romania has a low cataract surgery rate compared to EU standards. While some may not require immediate surgery, changes in glasses or increased lighting can help. If daily activities are affected, surgery may be recommended to replace the cloudy lens with an artificial one.
