How Do Cataracts Occur?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A cataract occurs when the normally clear lens of your eye gets cloudy.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, the condition develops in older people, but according to the National Eye Institute<\/a>, more than 24.5 million Americans over the age of 40 are affected by them.\u00a0 By the age of 80, more than 50% of Americans have cataracts or have had cataract surgery to remove them.<\/p>\n

While most cataracts are age-related, they also occur in babies or young children (called congenital cataracts). And they can be caused by a traumatic eye injury, by excessive exposure to radiation or ultraviolet light, by the use of certain medications, including prednisone and corticosteroids, and by certain diseases, such as diabetes.<\/p>\n

What Are the Symptoms of Cataracts?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you think you may be experiencing these possible symptoms of a cataract, get in touch with Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania to schedule an evaluation. A careful exam is the first step to discovering cataracts or ruling out a different condition that may be causing your eye problems.<\/p>\n
