cataract
Lens grows opaque
Cataract has two main meanings united by the idea of something falling or rushing down.
A cataract is a large waterfall or a violent rush of water: The river plunges over a series of cataracts.
In medicine, a cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens that obstructs vision, as if a curtain has descended: She had surgery to remove her cataracts.
