CATARACTS:

A cataract is a clouding or darkening that develops in the normally clear lens of the eye. This prevents the lens from properly focusing light on the retina, at the back of the eye, resulting in loss of vision. it is not a film that grows over the surface of the eye.​

MACULAR DEGENERATION:

There are two types of age-related macular degeneration, the "dry" type and the "wet" type.
The "dry" type usually has a slower progression. The "wet" type is a faster progressing disease. New blood vessels grow in the macular region causing leakage, bleeding, and scarring in the macular region. unfortunately there is no cure for Macular Degeneration. for further information click on the following link http://www.ahaf.org/macular/about/maabout.htm
