A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. Most cataracts are related to aging and cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures for older people. However, cataracts can also be caused by diabetes, excessive exposure to sunlight, smoking or alcohol consumption. Age-related cataracts can either develop when clumps of protein reduce the sharpness of the vision or when the clear lens changes to a brownish color. Cataract surgery is a procedure where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced by an artificial lens. Cataracts may be improved with glasses, magnifying lenses or brighter lighting, and will only need to be surgically removed when the vision loss causes problems for everyday activities.
