Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "Sometimes, the crystalline lens of people at old age becomes milky and cloudy. This condition is called cataract." Myopia, Hypermetropia, and Presbyopia are refractive defects — they do not involve the lens turning cloudy. Always link cataract to the key phrase "milky and cloudy crystalline lens."
