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 cause significant changes in vision. Cataracts occur not just in older adults, but in younger people too. Injury, certain medications, and genetic conditions can result in cataracts, even in the very young. It should be noted that not all vision changes are the result of cataract. Several of the above symptoms can be signs of very serious and life-threatening conditions. See an eye doctor to discuss your vision changes and any other symptoms you may be experiencing.
