SMOKING AND VA**NG CAN WORSEN CATARACTS

A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye, the clear part of the eye that helps to focus light. Common cataract symptoms include blurred vision; seeing double or a ghosted image; increased sensitivity to light (especially with oncoming headlights at night); difficulty seeing well at night, or needing more light when you read; and seeing bright colors as faded or yellow instead.

Aging is the most common cause of cataracts. Normal eye changes begin after age 40 wherein proteins in the lens start to break down, causing the lens to get cloudy. People over age 60 usually start to have some clouding of their lenses. Smoking increases your risk of developing cataracts.

Talk to your eye doctor for more information.
