What is Cataract

A cataract is a clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity, and obstructing the passage of light. Early in the development of age-related cataract, the power of the lens may increase, causing near-sightedness (myopia), and the gradual yellowing and opacification of the lens may reduce the perception of blue colours.Typically, cataracts progress slowly, causing vision loss; and can lead to blindness, if left untreated. Cataracts may be partial or complete, stationary or progressive, hard or soft.

Causes of Cataract

Cataracts develop from a variety of reasons, including long-term ultraviolet exposure, exposure to radiation, secondary effects of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and advanced age.Genetic factors are often a cause of congenital cataracts. Cataracts can also be produced by eye injury or physical trauma. Some drugs such as Corticosteroids, Ezetimibe and Seroquel.can induce cataract development.
