Cataracts: Cataracts is a clouding of the natural lens, (the part of the eye in charge for focusing light and producing clear, sharp images.) The lens is enclosed in a sealed bag or capsule. As the old cells of the lens die they become trapped inside the capsule. After some time, the cells build up causing the lens to cloud, making images look blurred or fuzzy. Cataract can often result in blindness. For most people cataracts is a natural result of aging occurring usual in people over 55. Cataracts are painless and often develop slowly sometimes it can be years before a patient knows of their condition.
