What’s Cataract?
A cataract (Hindi: motiyabind) is a clouding of the eye's typically clear lens. People with cataracts may find it similar to gazing through a frosty or fogged-up window to see through lenses that are foggy. Cataracts can cause eyesight to become cloudy, making it more challenging to read, drive a car (especially at night), or notice a friend's expression.
The majority of cataracts form gradually and don't initially impair your vision. However, over time, cataracts will eventually obstruct your vision.
You can initially manage cataracts by wearing greater lights and spectacles. However, you may require cataract surgery if your vision is so bad that it interferes with your daily activities. Thankfully, cataract surgery is typically a risk-free, efficient process.
The good news is that cataracts can be removed surgically. The safe procedure of cataract surgery fixes any eyesight issues brought on by cataracts.
