What are different types of cataract? Is it necessary age related? I am asking because I’ve heard of child who has cataract. I thought that is impossible.
Cataract is not necessary age related. There are different types of cataract. Congenital, although it is not common, some babies are born with cataracts or develop them within the first year of life and cataract also can be result from injury of the eye. Sometime it can be caused either by medications (most commonly prednisone or other corticosteroids) or disease, like diabetes. And finely age-related is the most common kind of cataract.
