What causes cataracts?

There are two ways age-related cataracts develop:

Protein clusters reduce sharpness of the image.

The eye’s lens consists mainly of water and proteins, but when the protein clumps together over time, it clouds the lens and restricts the light reaching the retina. The protein clump grows larger in size with time, gradually reducing the quality of vision by making things duller and blurrier.

The lens discolours, leaving a brownish tint.

Although the eye’s lens is naturally clear, it can develop a brownish shade with age. Tinting is usually not noticeable at first. However, over time, it may make everyday activities more difficult to accomplish. For example, with advanced lens discoloration, you may have difficulty identifying blues and purples.
