Signs And Symptoms Of Cataract
It is a disease which clouds your vision covering the eye's
natural lens. This badly affects your eyesight which can even
blind you. It is clouded due to the film over the eye by which
the eye gets a frosty look which can be even compared to a
frosted glass. These makes the day-to-day cycle of life very
difficult. Driving the car, reading a newspaper and many other
small things in life become a very strenuous job. This disease
is mainly related to age because with the passage of time it
starts getting weaker.
The strength and vitality of our lens is mainly due to water and
protein. The protein is provided in right amounts which keeps
the lens clear by helping the light pass through it. But with
age being a factor in causing this disease, the protein which is
provided clusters together making the lens crowded. Over a
period of time the cataract grows larger making the lens clouded
with a worse vision. Even though it may be of common
understanding for many that, cataract is age-related but with
the different ways of life cataract may have started in middle
age.
The beginning of cataract is very small as most of the diseases
which can result in losing your vision. It starts off with a
blurred vision. A cataract patient may find the sun rays and
other lights very bright due to this condition. Due to this
constant eyestrain you will find yourself blinking more often to
clear your vision. Cataract does not pose much threat unless
your eye color is entirely white, which is a condition known as
an overripe (hypermature) cataract. This can cause extreme
damage to your eyes and should be removed as soon as possible.
