Cataract is the clouding of the normally clear, natural crystalline lens in your eye. This usually occurs due to ageing, but can also be caused by eye trauma, heredity, diabetes, and even some medications. Whatever the cause, cataracts typically result in blurry or hazy vision and sensitivity to light.
Cataract formation occurs at different rates and can affect one or both eyes. Fortunately, with modern medical technology, it can be treated safely and effectively through a microsurgical technique. Modern cataract surgery techniques lead to substantial improvement in vision for most patients. |
