Question: My husband has cataracts in both eyes and he’s only 32. What could be causing this at such a young age?
Dr. Hibberd's answer:
Bilateral cataracts are often inherited and associated with other diseases. They require a thorough examination work up since there could be associated metabolic, infectious, systemic disease. Most bilateral cataracts are due to defective genes. Even children can develop them and sometimes babies are born with them.
