Cataract is a visual impairment caused by clouding of the lens in the eye. Blurring is caused by the accumulation or alteration of proteins inside the lens. This affects the focusing of the eye, making it difficult to see clearly and can even cause vision loss.

Cataract surgery is usually performed using laser technology. In this technique, the cloudy lens inside the eye is fragmented and removed with a laser. A new lens implant is then placed in the eye. This surgery is usually done with anesthesia and takes a few minutes.

The number of people with cataract disease worldwide is more than 2 billion. This figure is only the number of cataract disease causing vision loss, other visual disorders are not included.

Cataracts are generally more common in low- and middle-income countries, especially in South Asia and Africa. In these countries, cataract disease is more common due to factors such as accessibility of health services, inadequate hygiene and nutritional conditions.

Accessibility of cataract treatment is more difficult in low- and middle-income countries, especially in South Asia and Africa. In these countries, treatment of cataract patients is more difficult than in other countries due to factors such as inadequate health services, economic difficulties and difficulties in accessing health services.
