Cataracts are a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. They occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision and other visual disturbances.

However, there are other factors that can contribute to the development of cataracts, such as diabetes, smoking, and prolonged exposure to sunlight.

This process is not only fundamental for sustaining eye health but can also fend off various ailments.
