Improving vision...
About 24.5 million people in the U.S. have cataracts, a vision-blurring cloudy spot on the lens of the eye, Lindsey Konkel reports on consumerreports.org.
"When you're young, the lens is clear, like a raw egg white," says Uday Devgan, MD, a cataract surgeon and professor of ophthalmology at UCLA, Konkel wrote.
"But over time, it becomes opaque," Devgan noted, according to Konkel.
Surgery to replace the cloudy lens with an artificial one can improve vision, Konkel noted.
