Cataracts happen to everyone. It is the process through which the natural lens of your eye starts to harden and yellow (looks like when a toenail starts to harden and yellow). It starts to hinder your ability to see clearly and makes everything you look at have a dirty, yellowish appearance. It is caused by UV exposure over many years. It is easily remedied with a simple surgery where they break up and remove the old dirty lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens. Cataracts can not come back once the natural lens has been removed.

cataracts are caused by inherited genetic disorders that cause other health problems and increase your risk of cataracts.
