Cataracts are a common eye condition that can affect people as they age. They occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing vision to become hazy, blurry or discoloured. Cataracts can occur in one or both eyes and can vary in severity. Cataracts can have a significant impact on everyday life. People with cataracts often experience difficulty reading, driving or recognising faces. They may also experience sensitivity to light and glare, and find it challenging to see in low light conditions.

While cataracts cannot be prevented, they can be treated. In the early stages, a change in eyeglasses or contact lenses may be helpful. However, as cataracts progress, surgery may be necessary to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one. Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure, with millions of people undergoing the surgery every year.
