A cataract is caused by an opacity of the crystalline lens. The lens becomes cloudy and will not allow proper light to transmit through it. It is like having a dirty windshield. You won't see any better, until you have it surgically removed. Many people believe that cataracts are caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. That is why most people in the coastal regions have a higher tendency to have cataracts- they are outside more often. And usually cataracts are found in older adults- because their eyes have been exposed to the ultraviolet light for a number of years. But cataracts cal also be caused by other things, not just ultraviolet light. An annual dilated eye exam should be performed by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist to check for refractive errors and any diseases or problems with the eye.
