A member asked:
How long would it take a cataract to develop after head trauma?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Depends on the trauma . Could be right away, or, years down the line. The more severe and direct the trauma , the faster cataracts develop.

Variable: It could develop in just a matter of days or as long as years. Sorry, but that's the truth.
