June is Cataract Awareness Month!
What are the types of cataract?
1. Age-related – 95% of cataract are age-related, usually after age 40.
2. Congenital – These are present at birth, usually caused by infection or inflammation during pregnancy; possibly inherited.
3. Traumatic – Lens damage from a hard blow, cut, puncture, intense heat or chemical burn may cause cataract.
4. Secondary – Some medicines, eye disease, eye infection, or diseases such as diabetes can cause this cataract.
