The Malik family, from West Bengal, knows this firsthand. Four generations of one family were born with congenital cataracts. Work, school, and everyday life for the entire family was shrouded in a blur.
Sarama, 62, was born with congenital cataracts-a genetic condition. Like her mother and siblings, she could barely see.
