    Cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye which causes blurred or dim vision. It occurs when the lens fibers within the eye degenerate or abnormal proteins are deposited. Common causes of cataract include aging, eye injuries, prolonged sun exposure, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, steroid use, and hereditary factors. Symptoms include blurred vision, sensitivity to light, trouble seeing at night, and changes in color perception. Cataracts are classified based on location within the lens, age of onset, maturity level, and etiology or cause. Treatment involves surgically removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial lens.
