What is Cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, which can lead to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. As cataracts develop, they can interfere with your daily activities, making it harder to see clearly and comfortably. Cataracts are a common part of the aging process, but with early detection and care, they can be managed effectively.
