What is a Cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in the eye. Your natural lens works much like a camera, sending light images to the retina which then carries those images to the brain.  As we age, the proteins in the eye break down, preventing the lens from sending clear images to the retina. This produces a cloudiness that may cause sight to become blurry, less colorful or have a yellow tinge, and you may become more sensitive to glare with night driving. If left untreated, vision will continue to get worse.
