As a result, the eye lens gradually loses its elasticity and becomes increasingly hard ... With an advanced cataract, those affected see everything around them as if through a veil of fog. About 25% of people over the age of 65 have cataract formation. There is no drug treatment for lens opacification. You have to exchange the clouded lens.
