Driving At Night Before and After Cataract Surgery
Request an Appointment
Cataracts can significantly impair night vision, making activities such as night driving challenging and potentially unsafe. Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear intraocular lens, restoring visual clarity. This page explains how night driving is affected by cataracts and how our cataract surgeons help improve night vision through modern surgical techniques. At EyeCare Consultants of NJ, we proudly serve Northern New Jersey patients at our Woodland Park location and Central New Jersey patients at our Edison clinic, delivering expert eye care with a personalized touch.
Understanding Cataracts
Cataracts develop as proteins in the eye’s natural lens begin to clump together, causing cloudiness that interferes with the passage of light. This cloudiness diminishes contrast sensitivity and creates issues with glare, halos, and blurred vision, particularly in low-light conditions. When the lens becomes cloudy, patients often experience difficulty distinguishing streetlights, oncoming headlights, and other nighttime hazards.
