Who is at risk for cataracts?

Doctor's Answer

Certainly, the most common cataract we see is what we call senile cataract or age-related cataract and these affect people above the age of 60.

At the same time, there are certain people, even in babies and young adults, who get cataracts. These are usually rarer and more related to trauma or pre-existing conditions. Usually, the overwhelming majority of patients with cataract are of the age group above 60.
