Clouded vision might potentially indicate cataract.

A cataract is a dense, cloudy area that forms in the lens of the eye. Although it is age-related condition that gradually develops in the elderly over time, a cataract can be also found in people aged over 40. Contributing factors to cataracts in younger age group usually involve prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, previous eye injury or inflammation and excessive exposure to sunlight. Warning signs and symptoms are clouded, blurred or dim vision and increasing difficulty with vision at night. If left untreated, these symptoms progressively continue as cataracts grow larger, resulting in continual loss of vision. It eventually leads to legal blindness or even total blindness. Being aware of abnormal signs substantially helps to prevent cataracts and reduce disease severity. Having regular eye examinations can significantly detect cataracts and other eye problems at their earliest stages before diseases progress and complications develop.
