Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Cataracts.
  2. Cataracts occur when there is a build – up and change in the protein in the lens so it becomes cloudy. This prevents light from passing though the lens causing some loss of vision.
  3. Even if a cataract does progress, it may be years before it interferes with vision.People very rarely need immediate cataract surgery
  4. If this happens to you, you should make an appointment with your doctor.
