Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cataract is the gradual yellowing and hardening of the lens of the eye. The lens becomes opaque, eventually preventing light from passing through to the retina. The person's vision becomes cloudy as the cataract worsens. An infection is usually a temporary situation that is a result of bacterial or viral presence and doesn't affect the hardening of the lens. Glaucoma involves the increase in intraocular pressure and blindness is the loss of vision.
