Cataract is a progressive opacification of the crystalline lens that results in visual impairment and a diminished quality of life. It is one of the leading causes of blindness globally, with aging being the primary risk factor. Additional contributing factors include ocular trauma, systemic diseases such as diabetes, prolonged corticosteroid use, and congenital disorders. Management involves preventive strategies aimed at reducing the risk of cataract formation; however, surgical extraction remains the gold standard for vision restoration. A thorough preoperative evaluation and timely surgical intervention are critical for achieving optimal outcomes.
