Cataracts usually result from:
  • Aging—natural changes that take place during the normal aging process
  • Injury—a severe blow or deep cut to the eye
  • Birth defect—abnormal conditions in the eyes of unborn babies
  • Harmful factors—disease, radiation, toxic chemicals, certain medications and too much exposure to ultraviolet light
Most Cataracts are Age Related
Your chances of getting cataracts increase with age. Almost everyone, if they live long enough, will develop them.
Ages 52 to 64   42%
