Lens and Cataracts

Lens: The lens is a transparent, flexible structure located behind the iris (colored part of the eye). Its primary function is to focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye, allowing us to see clearly at different distances. The lens changes shape to adjust focus, a process known as accommodation. Changes to the lens, such as clouding or hardening, can lead to vision problems like presbyopia (difficulty focusing on near objects with age) or cataracts.
 
Cataracts: A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye, typically due to aging, injury, or certain medical conditions like diabetes. This clouding causes blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing in dim light. Cataracts can progress slowly over time, eventually impairing vision significantly if left untreated. Treatment involves surgical removal of the cloudy lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision. Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful surgical procedures performed worldwide, typically offering significant improvement in vision and quality of life.
