Today, 1:06 PM | Re: cataracts Caused by several factors—injury, severe inflammatory disease of the eye, drug reactions or radiation, disease such as glaucoma or diabetes, sun exposure, smoking or congenital. Most develop late in life due to aging. At a cellular level cataract is basically clouding in the lens which obstructs the passage of light. Not really sure what you are after ... hope that helps.
