Jan 18 - 15 | If you have an immediate family member with cataracts, does it mean you will develop them too? Probably - but not why you'd think. Just about everyone will eventually get cataracts so having a parent with cataracts is not a good clue... the type/kind of cataract is probably a more important, albeit hard-to-know, clue. Cataracts can be secondary to medications, diabetes, smoking, trauma, can be age-related and also have genetic/heredity development factors. Talk to your Optometrist or see us at Vision Source London to better understand your risk. dr.j www.studioeyecare.com
