The typically clear lens of the eye becomes clouded due to a cataract. Cataract sufferers may compare viewing through clouded lenses to looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. It can be more challenging to read, drive a car (particularly at night), or notice the expression on a friend's face when one's eyesight is clouded by cataracts. Most cataracts grow slowly and don't initially impair vision. However, cataracts will gradually obstruct eyesight over time. Stronger illumination and spectacles can initially help managing cataracts. However, if normal activities are hampered by poor eyesight, cataract surgery may be necessary. The good news is that cataract surgery is typically a risk-free, successful treatment. A clouded lens is a cataract. Eye's pigmented portion is in front of the lens (iris). The retina, the light-sensitive membrane in the eye that works like the film in a camera, receives clean, sharp images from the lens by focusing light that enters one’s eye. Eyes' lenses thicken, become less clear, and lose some of their flexibility. Proteins and fibres within the lenses deteriorate and clump together as a result of ageing and other medical disorders, clouding the lenses. The cloudiness gets heavier as the cataract progresses. A cataract prevents the retina from receiving a well-defined image by scattering and blocking light as it travels through the lens. Eyesight becomes hazy as a result. Eye exams can aid in the early detection of cataracts and other eye issues. Find out from the doctor how frequently one should have their eyes checked. One has access to medications, therapy, and other treatment options. Organize further medical issues. Under conditions like diabetes or another illness that might raise risk of cataracts, stick to treatment plan. Make a decision to eat a balanced diet that is high in fruits and vegetables and make sure to receive a lot of vitamins and nutrients by including a range of vibrant fruits and vegetables in diet. Antioxidants are plentiful in fruits and vegetables, which support eye health.
