Cataract is one of the most common causes of vision impairment worldwide, especially among adults over the age of 50.

Understanding Cataract: What It Is and Why It Happens
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision. This condition usually develops slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Common causes include aging, prolonged exposure to sunlight, diabetes, smoking, or eye injury.
Typical symptoms include:
- Blurred or cloudy vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Faded colors or yellowing of vision
- Sensitivity to bright light or glare
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
If left untreated, cataract can lead to significant vision loss — making timely diagnosis and treatment essential.
