Quick answer
Cataracts usually progress slowly and gradually, so many patients get used to the changes without realizing how much their vision has declined until they compare it to a few years back.

Blurry or cloudy vision
Like looking through a foggy window, even with the best glasses prescription.
Glare sensitivity
Trouble driving at night because of oncoming headlights or direct sunlight.
Duller colors
Colors appear less vivid or take on a yellowish tint.
Frequent prescription changes
Your glasses prescription changes more often than usual.
Double vision in one eye
Can occur in more advanced stages of a cataract.
Difficulty reading
Needing more light to read or make out small print.
If several of these sound familiar, it's worth getting an eye exam to confirm the diagnosis and assess how advanced the cataract is.
