This article depicts the introduction, aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of cataracts. This review article addresses an overview of cataracts. Normally, in cataracts patients the lens gets opacified and crystallized that causes blurred vision or decreased vision. As the person ages the lens in the eye loses its flexibility, transparency and becomes harden, as the progression of cataracts occur the lens gets clouded and denser the large section of lens gets affected.
