A cataract is a clouding, opacity, yellowing, or accumulation of fluid in the lens of the eye that results in a loss of vision and interferes with your lifestyle. Most cataracts are related to aging, and by the time you reach the age of 70 most people will show some signs of cataracts. Age related cataract may occur in one eye first but with time will usually be present in both. The lens is a clear part of the eye that helps to focus light, or an image, on the tissue lining the back of the eye called the retina. The retina  is lined with the receptor cells that transform light particles into electrical impulses. A healthy lens is transparent due to the special proteins that help the layers repeat in a regular pattern that causes the least interference and passes the most light through.

Some wonder all of the time whether or not they need vision insurance benefits and, surprisingly enough, some of the people who wonder such things are people who have vision problems. Yet a cause for such questions may be due to the fact these particular people have had bad experiences with vision insurance providers who have still slapped them with huge bills.

Eye surgery for glaucoma and other conditions can lead to cataract formation. Certain health conditions like diabetes can also cause cataracts, occasionally very rapidly and in some instances also rapidly reversible. Unfortunately, they are usually permanent. Prescription steroid medications used long term can result in cataract development. Traumatic cataracts result after serious eye injuries but usually will not progress over time like age related cataracts. Infants occasionally are born with cataracts or develop them in early childhood, These cataracts may be so small and enough off the line of sight that they do not affect vision. While technically a cataract, I feel an opacity needs to cause lifestyle interruptions before they should be labeled as a cataract. Cataracts are best described by function rather than form. If they do interfere with your daily life, the lenses may need to be removed. Radiation exposure can result in cataracts if the dose is high enough or accumulates over repeated exposure.

One of the most widely practiced eye exercise is Palming. Palming eye exercise is one of the best fundamental ways of complete relaxing your eyes. This exercise can be done almost anywhere, and it only takes several minutes to perform.

Smoking is the best thing you can do if you want to develop cataracts at a young age. Smoking also is associated with the other leading causes of blindness, glaucoma and central retinal degeneration. Reducing your UV sun exposure by wearing quality sun glasses that meet A.N.S.I. standards is helpful. Sun wear that wraps and blocks sun exposure from the side is even more helpful. Although research studies have given mixed results, time will probably bear out a protective effect of antioxidants on the lens tissue. Supplementation with vitamin C, vitamin E, and special plant pigments  likely will be shown to reduce cataract development. Eating foods that are complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and less refined foods with a lower tendency to cause sharp rises and falls in blood sugar are associated with a decreased risk of cataract formation. Leafy green leafy vegetables, fruit, and other foods with antioxidants are always the best source of supplements.

Annual comprehensive dilated eye health exams are vital to monitor for cataracts and allow your optometrist to check for signs of retina degeneration, glaucoma, and other eye diseases. Early treatment and detection of eye disease may save your sight and life! The most common symptoms of a cataract are cloudy or blurry vision and problems driving at night due to halos and glare. Frequently, after years of minor changes, patients developing cataracts will start to have rapid changes in their eye glass prescription as they become more nearsighted from the changes in the lens.
