A cataract is clouding of the lens in the eye. The clouding prevents light from entering the eye, like you are looking through a dirty window.
Cataracts are a normal, age-related process, and most people develop cataracts around the age of 60. Certain factor can causes cataract in younger individuals:
Cataract surgery is almost always optional — if you are not bothered by your cataracts, then you typically do not need surgery. If your cataracts are causing blurred vision and light sensitivity that impact reading, TV, driving, and other daily activities, then cataract surgery can improve your vision and your quality of life. Rarely, cataracts can cause a type of glaucoma that is treated with cataract surgery even if your vision is not bothering you. Your surgeon will discuss your options and help you pick the right time for cataract surgery.
