Cataracts At A Glance
Cataracts will affect most people if they live long enough. This disorder affects 60 percent of people older than 60 and occurs when the normally clear, aspirin-sized lens of the eye starts to become cloudy. impairing vision.

There are three types of cataracts.
The most commonly known cataract is a cloudy white film that covers the eyes of some people. The elderly are most likely to get cataracts, and surgeons are capable of scraping this off the eye, as it eventually leads to vision impairment.
The lesser common cataract is a sort of short waterfall, or white water area in a river.
The third type of cataract is part of certain racist jokes aimed at asians. It is commonly known as a cadillac.

Simply put, a cataract is a "clouding" of the lens in your eye. The lens, located just behind the iris, or the colored part of your eye, works like the lens of a camera. It picks up images, then focuses the lights, colors, and shapes on the retina - the transmitter located at the back of your eye that sends the images to your brain.

Both my granma and aunt have had it and you can get it fixed through day surgery.It's a layer of skin that covers your eyeball n can make it very difficult to see and it doen't go away you have to see a doc and get surgery or laser surgery to get it fixed all they do is take the layer that is growing over your eyes or eye or they can laser it and they won't do the surgery until you r 80 % blind from the cateracts.Bye for now and have a great x-mas.
