Cataracts are an age-related disease that people get as they get older, only the timing of cataracts may be different for each person. The time sequence is related to genetics, living environment, personal health condition, sunshine time and so on. People with genetic factors may have them at birth. This condition requires early surgery, otherwise it will affect the development of the eyes and vision.
People with diabetes or certain blood disorders or electrolyte balance disorders will have cataracts earlier, starting to have them in their 20s or 30s. Most people will start to feel vision loss, blurriness, fixed black shadows and, in some cases, double vision until after the age of 50, which will affect the quality of life, especially now that more people are driving and the risk of traffic accidents caused by poor vision will increase.
Cataracts mainly affect vision and lead to a decline in quality of life, and can also lead to life safety accidents. As long as you feel that your quality of life is affected by vision loss or blurring and cannot be improved by wearing glasses, you can consider cataract surgery.
