Cataract
Cataract is a pathological condition that affects the lens of the eyes and causes unclear vision. Cataract happens when the lens becomes opaque and whitish and will hinder the entry of light to the eye. Cataract develops due to the deposition of salts and acids between lens fibers, deterioration in the nutrition of the lens and also due to the disintegration of the lens fibers. The factors that contribute to the cataract are excessive usage of alcohol, smoking, salt, sugar, vitamin deficiencies, diseases like diabetics, gall bladder disturbances, gastrointestinal problems etc.
