During a recent exam, one of our eye doctors found an interesting cataract on a patient's eye. As the doctor explains,
"Normally, a cataract is just a yellowing of the lens inside your eye. It results in diminished ability to see clearly and makes it particularly hard to easily distinguish colors.
This patient has a very interesting cataract. Instead of being a little bit yellow, it looks like someone put their “thumbprint” right on the persons lens inside their eye. Of course, this didn’t happen but rather the lens has a layer on the outside that is a little hard to see through.
We’ll monitor this patients cataract and when it is ready we will have it removed and replaced with an artificial lens."
