Cataract

Clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye.
Treatable by a medical professional
Requires a medical diagnosis
Lab tests or imaging not required
Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong
Most cataracts develop slowly over the course of years.
The main symptom is blurry vision. Having cataracts can be like looking through a cloudy window.
When a cataract interferes with someone’s usual activities, the cloudy lens can be replaced with a clear, artificial lens. This is generally a safe, outpatient procedure.
