Cataract



The picture below shows what a cataract looks like through the eye doctor's microscope.  A slit of light coming from the side shows a cross-section of the lens, where you can see a cloudy center.  Of course that cloudy center causes blurred vision and glare.  Cataract surgery is very successful with few complications and often people are less dependent on glasses after cataract surgery.
