There are many causes of cataract, some more common than others. Cataracts can be caused by trauma to the eye, genetics, certain diseases like diabetes and lupus, sun damage (UV light is a known cause), side effects from certain medications, and even smoking.

There are many treatments for a cataract as they vary depending on your age and location of the cloudiness in your eye. Some common options include:

The most invasive option is surgery where an ophthalmologist will remove the cloudy eye lens and replace it with an artificial one.

If your cataract is mild, over the counter medication may help decrease its size to improve vision. This treatment usually lasts for a short time, however it can be used in combination with surgery or another option below.

Some doctors may recommend eye exercises to help maintain your vision or wearing glasses in certain cases.

In addition, you can try using over the counter eyedrops like Refresh Plus which will moisturize your eyes and improve overall comfort. Cataract surgery is done by an ophthalmologist , a medical doctor who specializes in treating conditions that affect the eyes. They will use an ultra-sound device to break up your cataract and remove it from your eye in a few seconds. In some cases, these surgeries are done with lasers which makes them even more precise.
