Understanding Cataracts: Causes and Prevention
Overview
Cataracts refer to any opacity that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or its covering. They can form due to various reasons, with long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light being the most common. Other factors include aging and diseases like diabetes.Causes
Cataracts often result from the denaturation of lens proteins, a process where proteins lose their structure. Genetic factors also play a significant role in predisposing individuals to cataracts. The risk increases with age, becoming prevalent in individuals over 70. In fact, 50% of those aged 65-74 and approximately 70% of those over 75 are affected.While less common, cataracts can also result from eye injuries or other trauma. For instance, a study found that Icelandair pilots have a threefold increased risk of developing cataracts compared to non-flying professionals, likely due to exposure to cosmic radiation.
Treatment
Cataract surgery is the primary treatment, aiming to restore vision by removing the cloudy lens. This procedure is highly effective in improving eyesight.Prevention
Given the importance of eye health, protective measures are essential. Wearing sunglasses can shield your eyes from UV light and protect against wind and debris, reducing the risk of cataract formation.By understanding the causes and taking proactive steps, you can maintain healthy eyes throughout your life.
