Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world; impacting individuals around the age of 50 or older and see the transparent lens in the eye turning cloudy and experiencing thickening.

Cataract is a natural process with aging with most cases occurring over sixties. As one ages, the cells of the lens age too and aggregate in the center of the lens impairing its clarity. However, some factors like smoking, alcohol, diabetes mellitus, steroids use, malnutrition and eye trauma can accelerate the process resulting in cataract at a younger age.
