Cataracts
Cloudy Lens, Eye Strain, Blurry Vision
Cataracts are a clouding of the eye lens which
lies behind the iris.
The lens is mostly made of water and protein. The protein is
arranged in a precise way that keeps the lens clear and lets light
pass through it. But as we age, some of the protein may clump
together and start to cloud a small area of the lens. This is a
cataract, and over time, it may grow larger and cloud more of the
lens, making it harder to see.
Eye
tissue, which is rich in fatty acids, is particularly prone to
free radical damage. Light is an oxidant. When it
strikes the fatty acids of the macular region, free radical
oxidation damage may occur. Lutein, a potent antioxidant, may
help maintain the integrity of the macular tissue where it is
concentrated, and protect the blood vessels that supply the macular
region.
Seeing sparks or flashes of light when the eyes are closed
indicate stress. The eyes need to de-stress just as any
other part of the body. To de-stress the eyes blink regularly
to lubricate.
Cataracts are the leading cause of impaired vision and
blindness. Many factors are contributed to this such as
injury, ultra violet light, diabetes, continual eye muscle
strain and surgery.
