When the lens of the eye turns cloudy enough to impair vision, it is considered a cataract. They are the main cause of blindness worldwide. Four out of ten persons over 60 years old develop cataracts. Treatment consists of a safe and simple surgical procedure. And if you qualify, it can be done for free, at Baptist Health, as part of the Gift of Sight program.
