Could Motion Sickness Be Due To Cataract?

Within the last week I've developed motion sickness primarily driving a car. I have a cataract which I think may be my problem. Last week I had a cat scan, EKG, and blood work and everything looked ok . When I'm driving the car on the highway it feels as if I<m going to pass out.

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
Cataract is very unlikely to cause motion sickness..
You might having visual disturbances which may affect your driving and might the stress to see better while driving might have given you the symptoms..
Don't worry. Get an ocular examination done to know the grade of cataract and if required you can get it operated..
Hope this information helps..Take care.
