Glare is a biggie. We often saw cataracts that didn’t look too bad, but the patient complained bitterly about vision impairment. We had a small instrument that simulated sunlight brightness yet allowed the patient to view the chart. Many times they showed a significant drop in vision under daylight conditions that didn’t show up in the reduced lighting of the exam room. They became candidates for extraction.
