Cataract is so named (the word means a 'waterfall'), possibly because of the impression that the patient, whose lens is getting cloudy or opaque, may have of seeing through a fog or mist. It is also a fact that the cataractous lens is one filled with water droplets, as seen through a 'slit lamp', a modern instrument used by doctors to examine. The name however preceded the invention of slit lamp by centuries.
