Headaches as a typical symptom of cataracts
Often affected people also complain of headaches. These can be explained by the fact that vision is limited and thus the recognition of objects is associated with a higher effort. When trying to focus on something, affected people often frown and tense their facial muscles.
This ultimately leads to eye fatigue and headaches. The increased sensitivity to light and glare can also cause headaches with increased light exposure, as the eyes are squeezed together to allow less light into the eye.
