Scientists have not yet found any cataract causes. As discussed in this eMedTV article, researchers have identified risk factors (such as smoking and diabetes) that increase a person's chance of developing a cataract.
There is no cataract cure. However, as this eMedTV segment explains, getting regular eye exams, quitting smoking, and adopting a diet high in antioxidants may help to slow the progression of cataracts.
