Introduction
Cataracts are one of the most common eye conditions, especially among older adults, leading to blurred vision and, if left untreated, even blindness. Cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure that can restore clear vision and improve quality of life. At Sai Eye Hospital, Kanpur, under the expertise of Dr. Akanksha Gupta (MBBS, MS), thousands of patients have regained their eyesight through advanced cataract care. In this blog, we explain what cataracts are, symptoms to watch for, the surgery process, and why early treatment matters.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy due to protein clumping. This cloudiness blocks light, making vision blurry or dim. Over time, cataracts worsen, causing difficulty in reading, driving, and recognizing faces.
Common Symptoms of Cataracts

Blurred or cloudy vision
-
Difficulty seeing at night
-
Sensitivity to bright lights
-
Seeing halos around lights
-
Colors appearing faded or yellowish
If you notice these symptoms, it’s time to consult Sai Eye Hospital, Kanpur for a comprehensive eye check-up.
