Yes, excessive consumption of alcohol can increase the risk of developing cataracts. Cataract are a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which can cause blurry vision and make it difficult to see clearly.


Alcohol consumption can lead to oxidative stress, which can damage the cells in the eye and contribute to the development of cataracts.
