The answer is True.

Cataracts often develop slowly, which means vision changes can be easy to overlook at first. Cloudy or blurry vision, faded colors, glare, halos around lights, and trouble seeing at night can all be signs of cataracts.

If you have noticed changes in your vision, Cataract Awareness Month is a great reminder to schedule an eye exam with Southwest Eyecare.
