Some of these tips might help you adapt to mild vision problems caused by cataracts.

Reposition room lights and use window shades to avoid glare (on TV screens, computer screens).

Use more lighting or higher-watt bulbs for steps and hallways.
Keep your eyeglass lens prescription current. Replace your prescription before considering cataract surgery.
