Cataracts
Cataracts is a clouding or darkening that develops in the normally clear lens of the eye. This prevents the lens from properly focusing light on the retina, at the back of the eye, resulting in a loss of vision. It is not a film that grows over the surface of the eye.
Nobody is quite certain what causes cataracts, but it is known that chemical changes within the lense causes it.
Common symptoms include haziness, blurry vision, dark-spots, shadows and glare.
There is no proven method that prevents cataracts from forming. However, contact lenses or glasses can be prescribed for a prescription change. Ultimately, an eye surgeon can perform cataracts surgery to remove the cataracts and replace them with an intraocular lens impant.
