We all are so involved with digital technological devices with all sorts of screens today, like televisions, laptops, notepads, and smartphones, that we forget how these screens are significantly affecting our eyes. These digital technologies have brought up a number of problems within a large group of people today like headaches, eye strains, computer vision syndrome, and myopia, even in smaller children! We might all feel that our eyes are ageing faster than they should be. One other eye issue faced by a good amount of people today is early cataracts, which means getting cataracts quite early, even if you haven’t reached that age.
Generally, cataracts is associated with an elderly age. People think that cataracts is an eye issue for the older age group that causes clouding of the eyes lens. But, this is not always the case. There are instances when younger people may also encounter this problem. In fact, multiple cases of early cataract surgeries have been reported in today’s age, which means that more and more people are succumbing to this issue quite early than the age. Rare but true, there are certain babies too who have been born with cataracts, and require a surgery. Early cataracts could be due to various reasons like eye trauma, heavy eye strain, steroids, certain other medications, or over exposure to the sun’s UV rays.
So, if you are young yet, and you have developed cataracts, don’t fret. Although it shouldn’t be the case, but if it is, you aren’t the only one. Getting cataracts early is now quite a common issue.
