Complex Cataracts
What are Complex Cataracts?
Complex cataracts are cataracts that are associated with other eye conditions or complications, making them more difficult to treat than standard age-related cataracts. These cataracts may be caused by trauma, chronic eye inflammation, or systemic health conditions such as diabetes.

Symptoms of Complex Cataracts
The symptoms of complex cataracts are similar to those of standard cataracts, but they may be more severe or develop more rapidly. Common symptoms include:
- Significantly blurred, cloudy, or hazy vision
- Greatly diminished colour perception
- Severe sensitivity to glare and bright lights
- Substantial difficulty seeing at night or in low-light conditions
- Rapid changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to schedule an appointment with the experienced team at The Sight Centre. We can properly diagnose complex cataracts and recommend the most suitable treatment options for your specific case.

Having had previous eye surgeries, such as vitrectomy or glaucoma surgery, can also increase the risk of developing complex cataracts.
