What symptoms do patients have before refractive cataract surgery?

Dr Matthew Russell explains what symptoms patients have before refractive cataract surgery

Leading up to refractive cataract surgery, people will notice that the quality of their vision is deteriorating. Now, this can be a slow process, occurring gradually over months to years. Or, in some cases, it can occur quite quickly over a few weeks. The typical types of symptoms include: 

  • The blurring of your distance vision
  • Your spectacles no longer provide clear eyesight
  • You get night vision problems such as glare, starburst, halos around lights 
  • You experience a drop off in your ability to read and require stronger light to read small and medium-sized print
