Get help with cataracts
Discover how cataracts affect your normal vision and cloud the lens of your eye
Cataracts occur when the lens of an eye becomes cloudy, and they cause various vision problems. Normally, when you look at an object, light travels through your pupil and into your eye. The lens focuses the light rays onto the retina, which is a layer of cells at the back of your eye that are sensitive to light. If you suffer from cataracts, the lens isn’t clear enough to focus light and you won’t see objects as clearly as you should.
