Main reasons for cataracts
Aging: This is the most important cause of cataracts. In people over the age of 50, changes occur in the cells of the lens and it gradually becomes cloudy.
Diabetes: High blood sugar levels over a long period of time affect the lens of the eye and cause cataracts to develop quickly.
