Cataracts
Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens of the eye, which can lead to vision loss. They often develop as part of the aging process, but can also be caused by other factors such as diabetes, trauma, and certain medications. Cataracts can be treated with surgery, which involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. This can improve vision and has low risk of complications. Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful eye surgeries, and is a popular treatment option for people who have lost vision due to cataracts.
