Cataracts result from clumping of proteins in the lens, glaucoma, macular degeneration -loss of central vision due to breakdown of macular cells, leading cause of blindness. Diabetes, eye structure-skin losses elasticity and wrinkles or droops, pupil size decreases, needs more light can't see in the dark. Hope this helps.
