WHAT CAUSES CATARACTS?

Aging is the most common cause of cataracts. People over age 60 usually start to develop some clouding of their lenses. Other reasons why a person develops cataracts include family history; having diabetes; suffering an eye injury, undergoing eye surgery, and receiving radiation treatments on the upper body; prolonged sun exposure without sunglasses; and corticosteroid use.

Talk to an ophthalmologist for more information about cataracts.
