We know that as we age, the hair becomes frizzy, wrinkles appear on the skin, and the vision of the eyes may become blurred. Cataract or clouding of the eye lens is one of the main eye problems. If neglected, the consequences can be fatal. There is even a risk of complete vision loss. Many people think that this type of problem will appear only after reaching the age of 60. However, doctors said that at present, the eyes of people aged 30-40 years are also seen to be blurred by cataracts.
