What is Cataract?
The structure of human eye is similar to that of a camera. When light rays enter the eyes, they pass through the cornea and the lens. The cornea and lens focus an image automatically onto the retina, on which the optic nerve transmits the image to the brain.
Cataract means cloudiness of the lens. If the degree of cloudiness is getting more severe, it may obstruct the passage of light rays, vision will then become blurry. Hyper mature cataract may result in glaucoma and uveitis, or even blindness.
How is Cataract formed?
Cataract is mainly caused by natural aging process. Other causes include inheritance, congenital cataract, eye trauma, diabetes mellitus, high myopia and certain kinds of medication consumption.
