Cataract
  • The cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens, a
    transparent, oval-shaped structure that rests
    behind the pupil within each eye.
  • Most cataracts develop as a result of becoming
    older, usually sometime after 40 years of age. As
    we age, proteins that help make up the lens will
    start clumping together, which causes clouding.
  • Cataract are the most common cause of vision loss
    in the world, but the good news is that they are
    treatable.

    activity like walking.

    conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
