Cataract

A cataract is a misting of the lens of the eye. It prevents light entering the eye properly and causes dimness of vision which can gradually worsen. Normally, sight can be restored by removing the damaged lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. Research is investigating ways of inhibiting the development of cataracts.
