Cataract and its expanse 

condition of cataract develops when aging or injury changes tissue that makes up eye's lens and proteins and fibers after breaking down accumulate on lens. Since eye lens is responsible for capturing light and sending signals to brain which provides us vision, clouding of that lens les to extreme blurriness. During a cataract surgery, this cloudy lens is sucked up by a tiny vacuum-like instrument and replaced with a new, clearer lens of different s. re are, however, different s of surgery that involve making an incision and using lasers. 

While cataract is found mostly in older patients, children could also develop condition along with those with a genetic defect.
