Any clouding or opacity of the lens of the eye is called cataract. The presence of cataract is not hazardous to the health of the eye unless the cataract becomes completely white (mature). A mature cataract causes blindness and can cause inflammation in the eye with pain, redness and headache.
Once affected, cataract will result in gradual decline of eye sight. Cataract can effectively be cured through surgery.
