Age is by far the biggest risk factor for cataract, and it is sometimes assumed that cataract is
simply an amplification of this aging process. This appears not to be the case, since the lens …

Cataract (s) is the clinical equivalent of lens opacity and is caused by light scattering either
by high molecular weight protein aggregates in lens cells or disruption of the lens …
