Corneal
Specialist & Cataract Surgeon Keegan Johnson, M.D. of Center for Sight in Fall River offered some thoughts about
night driving and cataracts. “Patients often tell me that one of the most troubling
things about their vision with cataracts is how disturbed they are while
driving at night,” said Dr. Johnson. “Driving
at night is already difficult enough as reduced lighting can cause you to
misjudge distances and boundaries like the edge of the road as well as simply
causing an overall dimming of your vision,” Dr. Johnson further explained. “So,
if have been told that you have the beginning of a cataract and you are
becoming fearful of night driving with
cataracts, it might well be time to consider whether cataract surgery might be
a good option to help you regain your night driving comfort level,” Dr. Johnson
recommended.
If
you or someone you know feels they have night driving problems that might be
related to cataracts or has a question about cataracts, cataract surgery
