Answer
Dear Rahul,
It is not unusual for someone so young to get cataract, yes, some medications do induce a cataract, but we cannot be sure why it has happened in your relative's case.
Once a cataract is detected...this needs to be treated when it starts affecting your daily routine however the treatmentis surgery.
The new treatment involves no stitches, is a quick painless procedure and also has the advantages of choosing new implants which suit her lifestyle.
