Cataracts - A condition where the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision. Cataracts often develop with age but can also result from injury, medication, or other conditions such as congenital cataracts, which individuals are born with. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the cloudy lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens to restore clear vision.
