Understanding Cataracts: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Understanding Cataracts: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Dr Walid Sharif

What Is a Cataract?

A cataract is a painless, progressive clouding of the eye’s natural lens, located behind the iris and pupil. While aging is the most common cause, cataracts can also develop due to medical conditions or eye injuries. The good news? You don’t have to live with worsening vision—effective treatment is available.

How Cataracts Affect Vision

To grasp how cataracts impair sight, it helps to know how the eye works. The lens, normally clear, focuses light onto the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye). When the lens becomes cloudy, light cannot pass through properly, leading to blurred or dimmed vision.

Cataract Surgery: The Only Effective Treatment

Once diagnosed, the only way to restore clear vision is through cataract surgery—a quick, painless, and permanent solution performed as a day case procedure. The results are life-changing: not only is your vision restored, but with premium IOLs, many patients reduce—or even eliminate—their dependence on glasses.
