A clearer vision of cataracts: understanding the causes and treatments

Cataracts often affect people as they age, causing cloudiness and blurriness in their vision. Although it is a condition that can be treated, many people are unaware of its causes and available treatment options.

Cataracts occur when the lens in the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry or hazy vision. This cloudiness is caused by protein buildup in the lens which can be the result of aging, injury to the eye, genetics, or medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.

People with cataracts may experience difficulties with night driving, reading, and seeing colors. They may also experience sensory overload in bright environments, making it difficult to see.

Fortunately, cataracts can be effectively treated with surgery. The procedure involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial one. The surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and is relatively quick, with most patients experiencing improved vision within a few days.
