HOW TO DEAL WITH FAST DEVELOPING CATARACTS?
There are many reasons that lead to cataracts, but in the United States, age is the major factor. Most people who develop cataracts receive their diagnosis after age 40; they will not need treatment beyond routine eye exams and some lifestyle changes until they’re 60 years of age. There are some kinds of cataracts that can progress more rapidly, requiring treatment in just a few years of the initial diagnosis, rather than decades. These cataracts may occur in younger adults, plus they’re more likely to result from trauma, illness, or radiation exposure than just age. How Can Your Ophthalmologist Determine Your Cataracts Are Fast-Developing? The sole means to ascertain if any kind of illness is fast-moving is with regular eye checkups. Your eye doctor will use some diagnostic evaluations to decide whether your vision issues are caused by a cataract. Visual Acuity Test

They could then know what other evaluations to perform, to understand if this problem is progressing slowly or rapidly.
