cataracts

     

A cataract is a clouing that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage of light. Early in the development of age-related cataract the power of the lens may be increased, causing near-sightedness (myopia), and the gradual yellowing and opacification of the lens may reduce the perception of blue colours. Cataracts typically progress slowly to cause vision loss and are potentially blinding if untreated.

Trivia about cataracts

  • This clouding of the eye's lens is common in people over the age of 65
  • In the 1700s, Jacques Daviel performed surgery on these clouded lenses in the eye
  • Approximately 7 out of every 10 people over 75 are affected by these, a clouding of the eye lenses
  • Fred Hollows crusaded primarily to save Third World folks from this blinding condition, using synthetic lenses
  • Patricia Bath has 4 patents for the laser that safely destroys this opacity of the eye's lens
