Whenever a cataracts patient views any object it looks as if there is frost i.e as the moisture that usually drops early in the morning during harmattan period making it difficult for the sufferer to detect the real nature of objects or anything that he or she views.

Formation of Cataracts

Cataract is formed in the lens behind the IRIS. The iris is the coloured part of the eye.

The lens behind the iris focuses the light that is passed into the eye which enables the retina to produce clear and sharp images. The retina is a membrane in the eye which helps to detect the light that passes into the eye.

As one increases in age, the lenses becomes thicker, less flexible as well as less transparent. Increase in age will cause the eye tissue to break down and stick to each other causing blockage to areas in the lens.

As one ages, the blockage gets wider and cover a larger part in the lens when this happens the light that passes into the eye can no longer penetrate to reach the retina resulting in a blurred image.

It begins small in an opaque area at the back of the lens in the path where light travels into the eye. It then causes interference to bright light and causes glare and halos around light at night.
