When a person has a cataract, a clouding of the eye’s lens blocks light from entering the retina. The retina is the component of the eye that communicates visual images to the brain. Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness worldwide. More than half of Americans develop a cataract by the time they reach 70 years old. Early-stage cataracts can begin occurring in one’s 40s and 50s. They are occasionally found in young people, even babies.
