Cataract
A cataract is an eye condition characterized by the clouding of the natural lens in the eye, leading to vision loss. Naturally, the eye’s lens is clear and allows light to pass through, focusing on the retina at the back of the eye. but when a cataract develops, the lens becomes cloudy and interferes with the normal passage of light.

Types Of Cataracts:
1. Mature Cataracts: The seasoned veterans, mature cataracts have hardened and significantly cloud the lens, causing severe vision impairment. These typically require surgery for restoration of sight.
2. Immature Cataracts: Still in their early stages, immature cataracts cause mild to moderate vision blurriness or sensitivity to light. While surgery isn’t always immediate, monitoring and discussing options with your doctor is important
3. Cortical Cataracts: These wedge-shaped opacities form in the outer layers of the lens, potentially affecting peripheral vision and night vision. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve surgery or observation.
4. Congenital Cataracts: Present at birth or developing in early childhood, these cataracts can vary in severity and require personalized treatment plans to protect and optimize vision development.
