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 generally develop in both eyes, but not evenly. The cataract in one eye may be more advanced than the other, causing a difference in vision between eyes. Types of cataracts. Cataract types include: Cataracts affecting the center of the lens (nuclear cataracts). A nuclear cataract may at first cause more nearsightedness or even a temporary improvement in your reading vision. But with time, the lens gradually turns more densely yellow and further clouds your vision. As the cataract slowly progresses, the lens may even turn brown.
