Understanding Cataracts
Cataracts cloud the eye’s lens, a normally clear structure that focuses light onto the retina. This clouding causes blurry vision, making it difficult to see clearly and perform daily activities. There are various types of cataracts classified by their location and cause:
- Age-related cataracts: These are the most common type, developing gradually with age due to protein changes in the lens.
- Congenital cataracts: Present at birth or develop during childhood due to genetic factors or prenatal infections.
- Traumatic cataracts: Can occur as a result of eye injuries or blunt trauma.
- Secondary cataracts: Develop after eye surgery or as a complication of other medical conditions like diabetes.
Cataract Risk Factors
Several factors can increase your risk of developing cataracts; some are controllable, and others are not. Here are some key risk factors:
- Age: Risk increases significantly after age 60.
- Family history: Having family members with cataracts at a young age increases risk.
- Medical conditions: Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and prolonged steroid use increase risk.
- Exposure to sunlight and UV radiation: Excessive exposure increases risk.
- Smoking and alcohol consumption: Increase risk.
- Previous eye injury or surgery: Can damage the lens and increase risk.
- Eye diseases: Uveitis and glaucoma can contribute to cataract development.
