Cataracts are a common cause of vision loss.
Although they are most common in older individuals, cataracts can develop at any age. In fact, babies are rarely born with cataracts. Sooner or later, if we live long enough, we all develop cataracts. Ninety-five percent of people over the age of 65 have some degree of cataract formation. Cataracts develop faster in some people than in others.
