The body is formed in an orderly manner, where the combination of cells form tissue, tissues form organs, and some particular organs form a system. There are five major sense organs on the body are the skin for the sense of touch, tongue for the sense of taste, ears for the sense of hearing, nose for the sense of smell, and eyes for the sense of sight. The latest mentioned one seem small but very crucial in the body system. The eyes need maximum care as much as possible, and prevention, or even treatment from bad infections.

Either through birth, or due to some physical and environmental factors, the eyes are exposed to some infections at times. A well-known one is the clouding of the eye lens, thereby leading to a drop back in the functioning of the eyes. This process is known as cataract. Cataracts can occur in the two eyes, and can also occur in one eye, especially if it is gotten from birth, or if it is hereditary.
