Understanding cataracts involves knowing a bit about your eyes. Think of the lens inside your eye as similar to a camera lens, responsible for focusing light and transmitting clear images to your brain. While this lens starts out crystal-clear at birth, it can gradually become cloudy and foggy over time due to protein breakdown. When this lens becomes clouded, it's termed as a "cataract," typically occurring with age but sometimes due to injury.
