I am told that I am in the early stages of cataract development and the question is, what should I should be seeing or not seeing? The only thing I sense is an occasional cloudiness that seems to go away when I blink?.

[ The only thing I sense is an occasional cloudiness...]

I experienced the same thing and was told to try washing my eye area with baby shampoo (eyes closed of course) and rinse well.

Works for me and feels great.

I used to have the same exact symptom. A few blinks, rub my eyes, and my vision would go back to normal. That was years ago.

About three years ago, that old trick quit working. My vision began to worsen, and the cloudiness became ever present. Over the last year, it's become so bad, I finally was forced to see an ophthalmologist about it.

Well, I just got back from my exam about an hour ago, and now know that the cause is cataracts. I'm pretty much already legally blind in one eye, and the doc says I've got maybe a month before my "good" eye is just as bad.

Consider your symptom a warning.
