CATARACT OF THE EYE.
II May Come at Any Time of Life, and
It's Goal Is Blindness.


Cataract is an opacity of the crystal
line lens caused by interference with
its nutrition. AS the rays Of light can
not penetrate this Opaque matter it re
suits in blindness. A cataract may
come at any time of life, but is most
apt to come in old age, when senile
changes take place in all parts of the
body.
A cataract may be caused by changes
In the eye before birth. Children are
born with a cataract. 1t may be
caused by changes during childhood
by disease or injury, by excessive and
persistent light and heat and by many
other causes. Glassblowers are sub
ject to it, Y ray workers, sufferers
from diabetes and many others. 1t
may be a primary disease or it may
be secondary to other diseases.
1t is often very successfully treated
by operation, particularly in the aged,
the lens or lens and it's capsule being
removed. The development Of cataract
Is sometimes very rapid, especially aft
er injury, but in the aged it takes
place slowly, sometimes requiring
years before blindness results. The
operation is not usually done until the
cataract is mature or ripe. An earlier
operation frequently initiates against
@ successful result.-Philadelph Rec
