Does Seizures Cause Cataracts In Eyes?

My husbands eyes have seemed to gotten worse over the past couple of years. He saw an eye dr. and was told he has several cataracts on each eye and that some would have to be done in about a year. Since then he has been diagnosed with Seizures due to a tramatic fall that occured on 01/09/2008. First time we remember/notice seizures but was unsure of what it was, was back in like Nov of 2009. So could the seizures becauseing the cataracts? I mean he is only 45 and his sight seemed to have gotten bad over the past few years, but there are no dr. records to prove other wise.

Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having seizures and cataract.
Seizures are not related with cataract and cataract though it is common after 50 years of age it can occur after 40 years also.
The treatment of cataract is by surgery.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for treatment of cataract.

Thank you
