Symptom #5: Seeing Double

The lens in the eye that functions to focus light onto the retina becomes clouded. This causes the lens to no longer be able to focus the light causing issues such as blurry vision and double vision. Double vision occurs when there is diffraction from the lens leading to diplopia.

However, it can also occur in diseases such as brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and swelling of the cornea. Since double vision does not occur only in cataract, if you are experiencing this issue, it is best to see your doctor to rule out potentially life-threatening issues and seek treatment for your cataract.
