Symptom #7: Halos

Just like the other symptoms in cataract, halos are caused by the clouding of the lens leading to diffraction of the light that enters the eye. Halos are most commonly seen around light sources. It can be described as seeing rings around light sources in a variety of colors.

This can cause difficulty in activities such as driving especially at night. Streetlights and headlights can be bothersome for individuals who are affected as it can be distracting. If you are at home, you can dim the brightness of the light source or covering it using lamp shades.
