Cataracts Explained

Cataracts are characterized by a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which sits just behind the pupil. This clouding results in blurred, hazy, or distorted vision, making it difficult to see clearly and perform daily tasks

While aging is the most common cause of cataracts, other factors can contribute to their development. These include:

  • Family history of cataracts
  • Smoking
  • Prolonged exposure to UV rays
  • Medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure)
  • Certain medications
  • Previous eye injuries or surgeries
  • Poor nutrition
  • Alcohol abuse

The good news is that cataracts are treatable, and modern cataract surgery is highly successful. Cataract surgery involves removing and replacing the cloudy natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and boasts a remarkable success rate.
