What is Cataract?

Cataract is the haziness of the crystalline lens of the eye. It causes scattering of light & blurring. It is not a layer that grows on the eye as many think. A cataract is the clouding of the lens of the eye that impairs vision. There are three main types of cataract: Nuclear Sclerotic, Cortical and Posterior Sub-capsular. The types of cataracts are classified based on where and how they develop in the eye.

Besides, many professions which demand very good eyesight may need surgery at an early stage.

However, the natural lens, even with its slight imperfections of an early cataract, would have several advantages over the man-made IOLs.

Cataract does not cause pain, headache, redness, or watering. The vision loss in cataract is always slow, and if you ever have a rapid or sudden loss in vision, it should be informed immediately, as you may need specialized investigations to diagnose and cure that particular eye problem. A cataract is common in middle age as well as in senior citizens. It is also caused by drugs, chemicals, injuries, sun, UV light, radiation, electric shocks, malnutrition, diabetes, chronic diarrhea, X- rays, drugs etc.

Along with these, viral infections during pregnancy, marriage within relatives, genetic abnormalities etc. can cause cataracts in children.
