Inside our eye, we have a natural lens. The lens blends (refracts) light rays that
come into the eye to help us see. The lens should be clear. Aging is the most common cause of cataract. This is due to normal eye changes that happen starting around 40 years. That is when normal proteins in the lens start to break down. This is what causes the lens to get cloudy. People over 60 usually start to have some clouding of their lenses. However, vision problems may not happen until years later.
