What Are Cataracts?

The natural lens in your eye is responsible for many functions but when thinking about cataracts, you can think of your natural lens like a windshield of the eye.

A Cataract is like when your windshield becomes foggy. When this happens your vision begins to change, just like looking through a foggy windshield.

The natural lens cannot be cleaned or cleared like a windshield and so a cataract procedure is when we simply replace the foggy windshield or lens.
