A cataract is a disease of the eye in which the normally clear lens has pacified, which obscures the passage of light. It is a gradually progressive disease and a significant cause of blindness around the world. Diagnosis of cataract is clinical by meticulous torch light examination and slit lamp evaluation in undilated and dilated pupils. The presence of cataract usually manifests as a reduction of visual acuity, clouding of the lens, glare, halos, and photophobia. The stage of cataract, patient symptoms, and age determine the management in each case. This activity illustrates the evaluation and treatment of cataracts and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition.
