Cataract Causes & Treatments

Medical Conditions

Some medical conditions might lead to cataracts. These include high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. All of these health issues are caused by protein creation. Thus, they would lead to excessive proteins in your eyes and increase the risks of cataracts in the future. In addition, diabetes would result in many other eye-related conditions. Fortunately, you would lower the risk by managing these conditions. Some methods such as taking blood pressure medications or losing weight would be helpful. [3]
