According to medical journals, cataracts is a medical condition whereby clouding takes the form of film and affects the possibility to see clearly through the lens of the eye. This diminishes the quality of vision and worsens as a person gets older. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has cited cataract surgeries as amongst the most cost-effective health interventions of our times. However, cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness in Africa due to accessibility to health facilities that can conduct the surgery. The WHO has forecast that by 2050, there could be 115 million people who are blind.
