• Secondary Cataract: The loss of eye vision post to the cataract surgery ends up in Secondary Cataract. Patients experiencing secondary cataracts have the least chance to get eye infections again. Medications are prescribed to eradicate the infection.

• Traumatic Cataract: Development of cataract due to the high impact of injuries in the eye that makes the optic nerve lose its strength and vision.

• Congenital Cataract: Cataract infections are found at the eye’s lens from the Birth day of the babies/child/adult. The reasons behind the congenital cataracts are mainly due to the Genital hierarchy of the infected’s parent. Failing to treat the cataract at the earliest may result in permanent blindness.

• Radiation Cataract: Radiation exposure may loss of your optic vision and cause eye cataracts. Improper and non-periodic eye dosage leads to cataract formation.
