What is Cataract and what are its signs?
What is a Cataract and what are its signs? A Cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye. A normal lens is clear. It focuses light on the retina, the back of the eye. A cataract blocks some of the light, blurring the vision. If affected, the vision will become cloudy, fuzzy, foggy or filmy. The way colours are perceived also changes. There will be problems riding vehicles because of the glare from the headlight lamps, double vision and there is an apparent improvement in near vision.
