Cataracts are one of the most common causes of a loss of vision. Due to ageing, naturally the crystalline lens gradually loses its transparency which is accompanied by a loss of vision. Although the majority of cataracts are age-related, there are other types like congenital cataracts (existing from birth), or even cataracts that are side effects of certain diseases (uveitis, diabetes), of medication (corticosteroids) or of eye trauma.
Types of cataracts
- Age-associated cataracts
- Congenital and juvenile cataracts
- Traumatic cataracts
- Secondary cataracts
Treatment
Treatment for cataracts is surgical. The cataract is extracted and an intraocular lens is put in its place.
