ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, March 2nd 2016 [ME NewsWire] A cataract is a disease affecting the natural lens behind the pupil, where the lens becomes clouded, resulting in a painless decrease in vision.

When a cataract becomes more aggravated, people go back to wearing glasses and the vision becomes worse. Aging is the number one cause for cataracts; 99% of elde ... Read more »
