Summary Introduction
A cataract is an eye disorder, where the eye’s lens becomes cloudy and affects vision. Most cataracts are age-related and it is common in older people. It may affect either one or both the eyes. The lens focuses the light on the retina. Also, the lens adjusts the focus of the eye, so that the things that are near and far away visible clearly. The lens is made up of water and proteins. The proteins are arranged in such a way that makes the vision clear. When these proteins clump together, it affects the clear vision by forming cloudiness in the eye’s lens which results in cataract.
