Detailed explanation-1: -A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye (the clear part of the eye that helps to focus light). Cataracts are very common as you get older. In fact, more than half of all Americans age 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to get rid of cataracts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term cataract refers to a clouding or loss of transparency of the lens-normally a crystal clear structure located behind the pupil and iris, focuses light on the retina, much as the lens in a camera focuses light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cataracts are the clouding of the lens of your eye, which is normally clear. Most cataracts develop slowly over time, causing symptoms such as blurry vision. Cataracts can be surgically removed through an outpatient procedure that restores vision in nearly everyone.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cataract is a clouding of the natural intraocular crystalline lens that focuses the light entering the eye onto the retina. This cloudiness can cause a decrease in vision and may lead to eventual blindness if left untreated.
