What is a Cataract?

To take a step back for a moment (I realize that I haven't addressed this yet):
A cataract is a cloudiness of the lens of the eye.  We often think about old people having cataracts and having them removed rather easily (The whole procedure can be done in 20 minutes in adults).  This is a link to a great short (< 2 min) video on pediatric cataracts.http://youtu.be/gzsSjUr7iNc.  He describes it much better than I ever could!

    Note to readers: I removed a comment simply because the comment had no bearing on pediatric cataracts and the author appears to represent a "natural product" claiming to remove cataracts without surgery. Since I do not support such a theory, I removed the comment. I apologize for any confusion.
