A cataract is a term used to describe a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil.
When symptoms begin to appear, you may be able to improve your vision.
Treatment stages:
- Think about surgery when your cataracts have progressed enough to seriously impair your vision and affect your daily life.
- New glasses, strong bifocals, magnification, appropriate lighting or other visual aids.
- Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision
