The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that around 30 million Americans suffer from cataracts. This figure is projected to grow to 39 million by 2032. This is alarming because cataracts are highly treatable, yet people continue to suffer through them due to a lack of knowledge.
Cataracts are an eye condition where the lens of one or both eyes becomes covered with cloudy areas. This impedes vision because the light entering your eyes is prevented from being bent by the lens of your eye due to the cloudy film covering it.
Symptoms of cataracts include seeing halos around lights, faded colors, blurry vision, and trouble in driving, reading, or doing other tasks.
Many people also suffer from depression and anxiety due to the stress they are facing because of their failing eyesight. The most successful treatment for cataracts is surgery whereby the doctors remove the damaged lens and replace it with an artificial one. You can also prevent cataracts by regularly getting your eyes checked.
