A cataract is a common condition that causes a clouding of the eye's natural lens, and affects millions of people each year, including more than half of all Americans over the age of 65.
Cataracts cause a progressive, painless loss of vision.
The lens clouds naturally as we age, causing people over the age of 65 to see a gradual reduction of vision.
However, cataracts are not considered part of the natural aging process and are a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention.
The exact cause of cataracts is unknown, although it may be a result of injury, certain medications, illnesses (such as diabetes), prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light and smoking.

Macular degeneration is a major cause of impaired reading or detailed vision.
It is caused by the breakdown of the central part of the retina or macula.
The central vision can be distorted, color vision can be reduced but the peripheral vision remains unaffected.
Macular degeneration is often referred to as "age-related macular degeneration" or AMD.
AMD is caused by the natural aging process as tissue within the macula begins to deteriorate.
There are other factors that can increase the risk of macular degeneration such as; smoking, high blood pressure, poor diet and obesity.
