About the condition
Plain-language background from MedlinePlus (National Library of Medicine), not coding guidance.
Cataract
A cataract is a clouding of the clear lens inside your eye. This cloudiness blocks light from reaching the back of the eye, making it harder to see clearly. A cataract can affect one or both eyes, but it doesn't spread from one eye to the other.
