What is the Cause of Cataracts?
Everyone will eventually develop cataracts as they age. Age-related cataracts may develop during middle age, but typically, they only begin to affect vision after age 60.
Health conditions like diabetes, eye injuries, prolonged use of steroid medications, UV ray exposure, and tobacco use also cause cataracts. Symptoms of cataracts include blurred images, dull, bright colors, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataracts may also be why your glasses do not seem to help keep things in focus as well as they used to. As cataracts develop over time, people tend to accept and adjust to the decline in their vision.
