A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens inside the eye.
It can cause images to become distorted or blurred, bright colors to become dull and nighttime driving to become more difficult.
While cataracts can be caused by other factors, the most are simply caused by natural aging and cannot be prevented.
The length of time for a cataract to develop can vary from a few months to several years.
Vision loss from cataracts is gradual, which is why many patients have difficulty noticing the early symptoms.
