Cataracts are one of the most common age‑related eye conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. Yet many individuals delay seeking help because early symptoms can seem minor — like slight blurriness or changes in colour perception. At Harley Street Eye Hospital, understanding these early signs and knowing your treatment options empowers better eye health decisions.
Recognising early cataract symptoms
Cataracts develop when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, making vision appear foggy or dull. Common early symptoms include:
- Blurry or hazy vision
- Difficulty with night driving
- Sensitivity to glare
- Colours appearing faded
If you notice these changes, a professional assessment by a consultant ophthalmologist can identify whether cataracts are present and how they’re affecting your daily life.
Treatment options at Harley Street Eye Hospital
The good news is that cataract surgery is highly effective. Modern procedures involve removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Harley Street Eye Hospital offers advanced minimally invasive surgery using the latest intraocular lenses and technology to achieve excellent visual outcomes.
What to expect from cataract surgery
• A tailored treatment plan based on your eye health

Why January is a good time to act
Starting the year with a vision‑focused evaluation gives you clarity and confidence moving forward. If cataracts are affecting your quality of life, it’s worth talking to a specialist early to discuss your options and next steps.
