A cataract is a clouding of the lens in your eye. At first, any blurred eyesight may be almost unnoticeable. However, cataracts eventually result in severe blurred vision that has a major impact on your independence and lifestyle. A cataract is not a visible film on the outside of the eye and there may not be any obvious signs that it is developing as it usually develops over time.
Age related macular degeneration is a condition that affects the macula, the central vision part of the retina at the back of your eye. The macula is the part of your eye responsible for your central, colour and detailed vision, so its degeneration can cause significant visual problems. Macular degeneration can affect one or both eyes and typically causes problems with your central vision.
