WHAT IS A CATARACT?

Cataract (Safed Motia) is a Clouding or opacity of the normally transparent lens inside the eye.
Inside the eye, behind the colored part of the eye (iris) with the black hole in the center (pupil) is a lens. In the normal eyes the lens is clear and transperent. It helps to focus light rays on to the tissue at the back of the eye (retina).




When Cataract develops the lens become cloudy and prevents the light rays passing into the retina. The picture that the retina recieves becomes dull and fuzzy. Cataract usually forms and progresses slowly and therefore leads to a gradual blurring of vision.
