Cataract
Cataract is an eye disease in which the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision. Normally, the lens is clear and helps focus light onto the retina, but in cataract
Congenital Cataract
Congenital cataract is a condition where a child is born with a cloudy or opaque eye lens. This clouding prevents light from reaching the retina properly, affecting normal visual development
Traumatic Cataract
A traumatic cataract is a type of cataract that develops after an injury to the eye. The injury damages the natural lens, causing it to become cloudy and leading to blurred or reduced vision
Posterior Capsular Opacification
Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) is a common condition that may occur after cataract surgery, where the back portion of the lens capsule becomes cloudy
Lens Dislocation
Lens dislocation is a condition where the natural lens of the eye (or an artificial lens after cataract surgery) shifts from its normal position. This displacement affects how light is focused on the retina

Cataract & Lens Disorders: Causes, Symptoms & Advanced Treatment
Cataract and lens disorders refer to a group of eye conditions that affect the natural lens of the eye, leading to blurred vision, reduced clarity, or vision loss. The most common among these is cataract, where the eye’s lens becomes cloudy and blocks light from reaching the retina properly.
The lens plays a crucial role in focusing light for clear vision. Any change in its structure—such as clouding, displacement, or loss of flexibility—can significantly impact eyesight.
