When we are younger, the lens of our eyes is clear. As we age, the proteins in the lens change and the lens get cloudier. A cloudy lens is called a cataract. So when we look out through a cloudy lens, things will appear blurry. As the light goes through the cloudy lens or cataract, the light gets scattered and makes things blurry. Fortunately, it is treatable. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens or cataract and replacing it with a new lens.
