How the Eye Works
The eye works much like a camera and depends on a clear lens to focus images. A lens with a cataract makes it impossible to see clearly. When we look at an object, light reflects off the object and enters our eye. The lens focuses this light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina then converts these rays into electrical impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. The brain converts the electrical impulses into images, allowing us to “see.” Seeing clearly depends in large part on the clarity of the lens through which light passes. When you develop cataracts, the lens is no longer clear and the image will appear foggy or blurred. The eye doctors of New Jersey will diagnose and remove the cataract, replacing it with a lens implant.
