10 Neurofibromatosis Symptoms
Symptom #5: Visual Problems
Cataracts are a condition where the lens of the eye is clouded, causing a decrease in vision. Symptoms include halos, blurry vision, trouble with seeing at night, trouble with bright lights, and faded colors.
They can lead to difficulty with daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognizing others. In neurofibromatosis type 2, cataracts occur at a young age as opposed to usually occurring among older individuals. Vision can also be affected if the growth of schwannoma tumors occurs in the optic nerve.
