Glare from cataract: The glare is most likely due to the cataract. As light goes through the cloudy lens it get scattered causing the glare.

Glare & vision (VA): Depending on cataract density & VA (how much is cataract affecting vision/glare: get glare test BAT), eyeMD's will try to give the best glasses rx possible & make sure the tear film is working its best: tear film is like a pair of glasses: if unstable it decreases vision quality. If a dense cataract is present, surgery is best option. NAC drops (see eyedoc2020.blogspot.com) not proven effective
