Cataracts are a condition where the eye's lens becomes cloudy, leading to vision loss. People with high myopia have a 10 times higher risk of developing cataracts and may develop them 10 years earlier. With the increase in the use of 3C devices and the high myopia population, the incidence of cataracts in younger people is rising. Eye doctors recommend preventive measures such as UV protection, adequate rest, a balanced diet, and regular eye exams.
