Factors causing Cataract

  Cataract is generally known as an age related eye disorder, but there can be few other reasons too that can lead to occurrence of this disease. They are:
1. Aging: The most common cause of Cataract is aging.
2. Congenital: Some babies are born with cataract which can be an outcome of some kind of infection, injury or due to poor development of eye lens.
3. Secondary Cataract: This kind of cataract is caused as a result of medical conditions like diabetes or due to exposure to UV radiations or toxic chemical substances.
4. Trauma: Any injury to the eye too can cause cataract.

Do Following To Prevent Low Vision Problem-

Improve the lighting in your home and office.
This may not necessarily mean that you should increase the lighting or the brightness. Glare is often a problem for people with low vision. You'll need to experiment to see what works best for you. Special lights are available through many catalogs.
 
Use high contrast for reading and writing.

Write in large letters with a broad felt tip pen on white or light paper.
 
Use large print books or try other media, like books on tape, disk or mp3.
 
Use magnifying devices if your vision is very bad.

If these simple steps don’t help, or over time help less and less, it's time to seek a professional consultation for Low Vision Rehabilitation.
