What is a cataract? Continuation
Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually affect vision. At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye’s lens. You may not notice any vision loss.

Fortunately, cataract surgery is generally a safe, effective procedure. (Source www.mayoclinic.org)
