Cataract is a condition of eye when:
Cataracts occur when there are changes in the lens of the eye causing it to become less transparent. The lens is the crystalline structure that sits just behind your pupil, which is the black circle in the center of your eye.When light enters your eye, it passes through the transparent layer of tissue at the front of the eye called cornea and the lens, which focuses it on the light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of your eye called retina.
Cataracts start to develop in a person's lens as they get older age related cataracts, stopping some of the light reaching the retina and affect your vision, making it become increasingly cloudy, blurry, or misty.
So Cataracts can occur when person eye sight become foggy, or lens becomes cloudy and when there is loss of vision.
