A
cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye
that leads to a decrease in vision. Cataracts often
develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes.Symptoms
may include faded colors, blurry or double vision,
halos around light, trouble with bright lights,
and trouble seeing at night. This may result in
trouble driving, reading, or recognizing faces.
Poor vision caused by cataracts may also result
in an increased risk of falling and depression.
Cataracts cause half of all cases of blindness and
33% of visual impairment worldwide.
