Inside our eyes, we have a natural lens. The lens bends light rays that come into the eye to help us see. The lens should be clear. If you have a cataract, your lens has become cloudy. It is like looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield. Things look blurry, hazy or less colorful with a cataract. As frightening as cataracts might sound, modern cataract surgery usually can restore vision lost to cataracts – and often can reduce your dependence on eyeglasses as well.
