      What Causes Cataract?

      The most common cause is aging as the normal eye degeneration begins to occur
      after 40 years of age. Besides, proteins in the lens start breaking down, leading to
      the clouding of the lens.

      Other reasons

      • Family history
      • Diabetes
      • Smoking
      • An eye injury or surgery
      • Any radiation treatment on the upper body
      • Spending a lot of time in the sun without sunglasses
      • Use of some medications such as corticosteroids also lead to early cataract.

      How to diagnose Cataract?

      The comprehensive eye exam will include dilation, where doctors put some eye drops into your eyes to widen your pupils.

      Slit-Lamp Exam
      Ophthalmologist’s examines the cornea, iris, lens and the other areas at the front of the eye. The special slit-lamp microscope makes it easier to spot abnormalities.

      Retinal exam
      When pupils are dilated, it helps doctor examine the back of the eye.Ophthalmologist also look for glaucoma, and examine the retina and optic nerve.

      Refraction and visual acuity test
      Each eye is tested individually for the ability to see letters of varying sizes.

      Treatment for Cataract

      Cataract can be removed only with surgery. During the surgery, surgeon will remove eye’s cloudy natural lens and replace it with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL).
