According to insurance provider Prudential, cataracts (a leading cause of visual impairment), saw a 27% increase among Malaysians under 40 years old from 2022
Once considered a disease for elderly people, cataracts are becoming a problem for young adults too — it is often linked to prolonged screen time and sedentary lifestyles. This reflects an increasing trend where more young Malaysians are affected by non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
