In adults, cataract usually causes blurry vision which is reversible if cataract is surgically removed. Rarely, hypermature cataract can induce glaucoma or inflammation in your eye and urgent cataract removal is recommended. If an infant or newborn child has cataract, it can cause permanent blindness. Cataract surgery is urgent in this situation.
