[Sports] Blurry, sunken eyes: do I have cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye. There are two types of cataracts: senile cataracts, which occur naturally as a result of ageing, and secondary cataracts, which are caused by trauma or the use of drugs such as steroids. The symptoms of cataracts include decreased visual acuity, blurred vision, glare, and monocular double vision, and as the clouding of the lens becomes more severe, corrective vision with glasses or lenses becomes difficult to achieve.
