What is a cataract?
It is clouding of the natural lens inside the eye. The natural lens, located behind the iris, becomes cloudy as the eye ages. Cataracts can block light and images from properly reaching the retina decreasing vision.
Your vision can be blurred, or colors can be dull and your vision at night time can be very difficult. Cataracts can be treated with surgery that removes the old lens and replaces it with a new one to restore your vision.
