👉 Catarinite is a condition that occurs when the lens of the eye, which is responsible for focusing light to form images, becomes cloudy or opaque. The lens is made up of proteins called corneal cells and is responsible for directing light into the eye's retina. When the cornea gets damaged or irritated, it can lead to cataracts, a condition in which the lens becomes cloudy or opaque. Cataracts occur when the cornea is unable to properly focus light onto the retina
