A cataract is the cloudiness or opacification of the natural lens in your eyes. The lens within your eye usually is clear as it allows light to travel through it and form images on the retina present in the back of your eyes. A cataract makes it cloudy or foggy, which disrupts light transfer. This can lead to partial or complete loss of vision in severe cases. It is a multifactorial disease that usually develops with growing age. It can be treated with surgery, but it can lead to complete blindness in a person if left untreated.
