Cataracts

Cataract is a dense, cloudy area that forms within the lens of the eye. A cataract begins when proteins within the eye form clumps that prevent the lens from sending clear images to the retina. The retina works by converting the light that comes through the lens into signals. It sends the signals to the nervus opticus , which carries them to the brain. It develops slowly and eventually interferes together with your vision. you would possibly end up with cataracts in both eyes, but they typically don’t form at an equivalent time. Cataracts are common in older people.
