“…Cataract can be induced by several risk factors, including metabolic diseases such as diabetes, galactosemy, hypocalcemia, and hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, steroid usage, toxicity induced by cigarette usage or alcohol consumption, trauma, radiation, eye disease, pregnancy-related infections such as toxoplasmosis or rubella, or malnutrition (Congdon, 2001).
