Understanding the treatment

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which sits behind the iris and focuses light onto the retina. As the proteins in the lens change with age or other factors, the lens becomes hazy, yellowed or opaque. Light scatters instead of focusing sharply, so vision becomes blurred, dull or glary. Cataract is not a growth or a film on the surface of the eye, and it cannot be removed with drops or lasers alone — surgery is the effective treatment once it begins to affect daily life.
