AbstractAccounting for 51% of legal blindness in the world and 27% in Qatar,cataract remains the most prevelant cause of visual imapairments. Cataract involves the clouding of the eye lens, which reduces the light that reaches the retina and ultimately reduces vision. There are existing medical procedures for cataract, however these are deemed invasive and unaffordable. Scientists and public specialists agree that preventing cataract formation is the key to allevating worl blindness levels. Our objectives are; -To determine factors that inrease risk of developing cataract. -To discover the link between day-to-day activities of individuals in earlier life and the development of catarct in later life. -To compile a list of ways to prevent formation of cataract
