Abstract
Presenile cataract refers to an onset that occurs at any time from early adult life to age 60 years. Risk factors for presenile cataract include family history; refractive error such as high myopia, metabolic disease such as diabetes mellitus. Other possible causes are atopic dermatitis, use of corticosteroids, trauma, intra-ocular inflammation, electrical current injury, outdoor occupation and occupational exposure to heavy metals. A total of 177 Patients who were diagnosed as a case of pre-senile cataract, were included in this analytical study. All patients (Age between 18 to 45 years) with cataract with or without affected visual acuity were included in this study. An assessment of present complaints, detailed clinical histories (present and past) and personal data were obtained.. Ophthalmological check up as external examination of the eyes, visual acuity, torch light examination, slit lamp examination, refraction, direct ophthalmoscopy, were done. In this study the male female ratio in this study was almost 2:1. The most common cataract in younger age groups was traumatic cataract (34.46%) followed by, cataract due to uveitis (20.90%). Other causes include atophy (12.43%), diabetes (9.60%), and drugs (5.08%). The most common type of cataract in young age groups was Posterior subcapsular cataract (31.07%) followed by posterior polar cataract (21.47%), mixed type cataract (15.25%), nuclear cataract (12.43%), and hypermature cataract (6.78%). Most of the patients with cataract were labour and farmer by occupations (29.94%), followed by housewife (12.99%), office worker (12.43%), sportsman (9.61%), and students (6.78%). Cataract incidence in younger age groups is on the rise due to changes in the lifestyle of the individual starting from his diet, habitual addictions, occupational stress, and environmental influences
