Age-related Cataracts

Description

Age-related cataracts, also known as senile cataracts, are a common, progressive eye condition in older adults where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, resulting in blurred or foggy vision.

While age is the primary risk factor, genetics, sunlight exposure, diabetes, and smoking can also contribute. As cataracts advance, daily activities and independence can be affected, but modern cataract surgery offers a safe and effective solution to restore clear eyesight and improve quality of life.
