It may be caused by normal aging (age-related), exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation over many years, injury (traumatic) or disease (secondary). Most cataracts occur and develop after age 55 slowly but some babies are born with cataracts (congenital). In general, there is no way to prevent age-related cataracts. If you have eyeglasses or contact lenses, make sure they're the most accurate prescription possible. Limit your night driving. When you go outside during the day, wear sunglasses to reduce glare.

The lens works much like a camera lens, focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens also adjusts the eye's focus, letting us see things clearly both up close and far away. Hope this helps :)
