Cataract – We all know that the eye is like a camera. Like a powerful lens hole in a camera which concentrated the external light coming from the object and makes the photo on the photographic plate, similarly in the eye there is a powerful transparent lens, which helps in creating images of external objects on the sensitive layer of the eye, retina, from where it reaches to brain through the nerve of the eye. Thus everything that our eyes can see, it becomes a picture in front of us.

When the lens for some reason loses its transparency and becomes opaque, then it is called a cataract. The process of becoming opaque lens can be compared with the process of converting milk into yogurt. And on the other hand vice-verse is not possible. In the same way when eye’s lens gets affected from cataract, then it cannot be prevented in any way.

Causes of Cataract

The exact cause of cataract is not yet completely detected. The reason known yet is Old age, absence of the dose of protein, Vitamins A, B, C etc., lack of sunlight and some poisonous medicines. Common diseases such as diabetes and syphilis are also the cause for increasing it. Eye inflammation and injury at any age can cause cataracts. Hereditary or get measles in the first three months of pregnancy can also cause cataract.

Black cataract (glaucoma) – Glaucoma or black cataract or blue cataract caused by increased pressure on eyeballs. Water fluid is found in normal eyes that move freely in eyes without any hindrance. When the pressure is within normal range then this water fluid maintains the shape and range of the eye. If for some reason the small ducts from where fluid exits get closed then pressure rises. This raised pressure can destroy the delicate parts, which is responsible for the common problems of eye.

Symptoms of cataract – Black cataract and Cataract are different. These two conditions are very different from each other. Cataract also causes loss of vision, but only the cause of the blurring of the eye’s gem which prevents the entry of light into the eye. These two conditions are often occurred after the age of 35. Therefore mistakes happen.

Drinking of more tea or coffee should be avoided by Black cataract patients. They should drink water in small amounts regularly; otherwise the pressure inside the eye may increase.
