“Night driving problems without cataracts can be challenging,” commented Birmingham
Cataract Specialist Marc
Michelson, M.D. of Alabama Eye & Cataract Center. “With cataracts, night
driving problems are even more troubling because reduced lighting can cause you
to misjudge distances and boundaries like the edge of the road as well as
cataracts simply causing an overall dimming of your vision,” Dr. Michelson
explained. “Patients who have been
told that they have the beginning of a cataract and who are becoming fearful or
uncomfortable driving at night should consider whether cataract
surgery might be a good
option to help regain their night driving comfort and safety level,” Dr. Michelson
recommended.

you or someone you know feels they have night driving problems that might be
