Cataract surgery in the baby boomer population

Cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye.  As we age, the lens of the eye becomes more dense and eventually becomes cloudy affecting quality of vision and quality of life.  The baby boomer population seems to be developing cataract at an earlier age.  It is possible that this group is just less willing to deal with decreased vision of any kind.  This can also be influenced by excessive sunlight exposure, smoking and certain medications.
