  Well, yes, eye trauma can lead to cataracts. As we know that cataracts occur when there is a buildup of protein in the lens that makes it cloudy. In that way, it will just prevent light from passing clearly through the lens, causing some loss of vision. And there are many kinds of cataracts, such as age-related cataracts, or others. But on the other hand, there is an also traumatic cataract, which is caused by eye trauma. By the way, other factors that can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts include cigarette smoke, air pollution, and heavy alcohol consumption. So just pay more attention to it.
