What is croup? Croup is a fairly common respiratory condition in children usually caused by a viral infection or allergic reaction. Croup affects the windpipe (trachea), the bronchi (airways to the lungs), and the larynx (voice box).
However, as the cataract continues to become denser, vision also becomes more cloudy, and stronger glasses or contact lenses will no longer improve sight. Cataracts typically develop gradually and are usually not painful or associated with any eye redness or other symptoms unless they become extremely advanced.
Cataracts can also develop due to diabetes, use of steroid medication, trauma or for genetic reasons. If a cataract prevents you from reading or driving, or doing your normal day-to-day activities, it is advisable to have surgery.
