The diabetes burden is rising in the country. It is a known fact that diabetes leads to various problems such as heart, liver, kidney, and gallbladder. It takes a toll on one’s eyes too. A large number of people with diabetes are detected with cataracts that impair one’s vision. 

Dr Nusrat Bukhari, opthalmologist, Apollo Spectra Mumbai says, “A cataract is when your eye's natural lens becomes cloudy. Unfortunately, one can encounter symptoms such as clouded, blurred, or dim vision, nighttime vision problems, sensitivity to light and glare, requirement for brighter light for reading and other activities, and double vision in one eye.”
