Cataract

A cataract, or a clouding of the lens in the eye, is one of the most common conditions affecting older adults. By age 80, more than half of Americans are diagnosed with at least one cataract. If you have a cataract, your vision can become blurred, or you may perceive that colors are fading or yellowing.
