Cataracts:
Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's lens that causes
blurriness and loss of
vision. The word cataract literally means waterfall
and when a cataract is severe it's like trying to see
through a waterfall.
Cataracts occur when the protein that makes up the
eye's lens
becomes clumped. Scientists believe that cataracts
may be brought on by smoking and diabetes as well as
the impact of ultraviolet
light and general wear and tear on the
protein of the lens over the years. Fortunately, cataracts
are highly treatable.
Cataract surgery, in which the clouded lens is
removed and replaced with a clear plastic one, is both a
relatively simple procedure and very successful in
restoring sight.
