What is a Cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of your natural eye lens. As the lens gets cloudier it begins to affect your normal daily activities.

Cataracts form when your natural lens loses it elasticity and hardens. This is a natural process which is why aging is the number one cause of cataracts.

Gradual blurring of your vision always accompanies developing cataracts. You may also experience glair in bright light or colors may begin to fade. Cataracts do not cause pain or sudden vision loss.
