Cataracts Treatment

Question by K A: my uncle is developing cataracts? can it be because he doesnt get his sleep?
my uncle is developing cataracts. he works at night and sleeps during the day or i should say tries to sleep during the day because he has three little kids that wont let him sleep peacefully so he usually wakes up before getting a good sleep and then he feels pressure on his head and eyes so could this be the reason y he is developing cataracts at the age of 45 only???

Sleep deprivation doesn’t cause cataracts – the cause is usually genetic, damage from exposure to too much UV light, or aging (which doesn’t apply to a 45 yr old). The good news is that the cloudy lens can be replaced with an artificial one that usually gives people better vision than they had when they were kids – often far better than 20-20.

I have my right eye operated but wants the left eye to be slow down in cataract build-up.
