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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-949\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hkbh.org.hk\/EKMC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2-300x185.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hkbh.org.hk\/EKMC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hkbh.org.hk\/EKMC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.png 413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cataract means cloudiness of the lens.
