What is Other Age-Related Incipient Cataract?
Other age-related incipient cataract refers to the early stages of cataracts that develop in people over the age of 40. Cataracts are a common eye condition that occurs when the clear lens in the eye becomes cloudy. This cloudiness can cause vision problems, including blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing at night. Other age-related incipient cataract is the beginning stage of this condition and can be treated to prevent further vision loss.
Causes of Other Age-Related Incipient Cataract
Other age-related incipient cataract is caused by the natural aging process of the eye. As we get older, the proteins in our lens begin to break down, causing the lens to become cloudy. Other factors that can contribute to the development of cataracts include:
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight
- Poor nutrition
- Eye injuries
