never get to the point where they
seriously impair vision, while others
eventually block most or all vision in
the affected eye. The effects of a
cataract on vision depends on
several things: 1. how large the
cararact is; 2. how dense it is; and 3.
where it is located in the lens. For
example, when the cataract occurs
away from the center of the lens,
there may be little effect on vision-
but if it starts in the nucleus it does
not need to be large to effect
eyesight.
Among the signs that a cataract
may be forming are: Hazy, fuzzy, or
blurred vision. The appearance of
dark spots in the field of vision. The
for frequent changes in
eyeglass prescriptions. A feeling of
having a film over the eyes, or
having to look through veils, or a
waterfall. Changes in the color of ’
the pupil, which is usually black.
Problems with light. For
example, night driving becomes
harder because the cloudy part of
the lens scatters the light from
oncoming headlights, making these
lights appear double or dazzling.
“Second sight”-a temporary
improvement in vision experienced
by some people who wear reading
glasses. But this “second sight” is
lost as the cataract progresses and
then vision continues to deteriorate.
•None of these symptoms
necessarily means that the person
has a cataract, or if a cataract is
present that it must be removed.
People who have any of the
symptoms described should see an
eye doctor. If a cataract is thought
to be present, an ophthamologist can I
determine whether cataract surgery
is needed or whether some other
medical condition requiring
treatment is causing the visual
problem.

James Pope, director of the TDH
Division of Water Hygiene, said that
the state’s 44-year-old water
filtration statues have been one
reason why Texas has long had a
reputation for the quality of its
drinking water. “For years we have
been ahead of many other parts of
the country in protecting consumers
from unsafe municipal drinking
water,” he said. “But a bonus is
that, by requiring filtration systems
when we did, cities were able to
install their systems at a fraction of
today’s cost for new systems.”
Pope said that the new EPA rules
also require drinking water
chlorination after filtration.
“Again, Texas is ahead of other
parts of the country. 1 Chlorination
became mandatory in this state in
1970."
The EPA rules further state that
cities must regularly submit

When the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA),
announces new rules to protect the
public, it often means expensive
changes at the local level. And such
is the case in some U. S. cities after
EPA’s June announcement that by
December, 1991, all municipal water
systems using surface water sources
must install filtration systems. The
systems will remove disease-
causing viruses, bacteria, and
protozoa drawn from reservoirs,
rivers, and other open sources.
Some of the nation’s largest cities,
including New York, Boston, San
Francisco, Seattle, and others, face
paying large shares of the estimated
$3 billion in initial nationwide cost
for adding the filtration systems.
They also will pay portions of about
1500 million in annual operation
costs for the new systems.
But according to the Texas
Department of Health (TDH), cities
tn this state will be spared the new
expense, because Texas has

Seeing through a cataract can be
like trying to look through a
waterfall. In fact, that is the
derivation of the word cataract:
“cataracta” is the 1-atin word for
waterfall.
A cataract is a cloudy or opaque
area in the lens of the eye. The lens
is a small, oval tissue that is located
behind the pupil and iris. It helps
focus light onto the retina, the light-
sensitive tissuejjiat lines the inside
of the bqck of the eye. Usually, the
lens is clear. But if it becomes
clouded with a cataract, the passage
of light is obstructed and vision may
be impaired.
When a cataract forms, there is a
change in the chemical composition need
of the lens-but scientists do not
know exactly what caqses these
chemical changes. Cataracts have
been associated with a number of
different conditions, including
aging, diabetes and other systemic
diseases, drugs, and eye injuries.
What we don’t know, in most cases,
is how and why these conditions
cause the lens of the eye to cloud up.
The most common form of
cataract-senile cataract-is related to
aging, although this type can occur
at age 50 or even earlier.
Congenital cataracts: those that
are present at birth or that develop
within a year after birth. Some
congenital cataracts are the results
of a genetic (inherited) disorder,
while others occur after a fetus is
exposed to an infectious disease-
such as measles, rubella (German
measles), cytomegalovirus, or
syphilis-during its mother’s
pregnancy.
Traumatic cataracts: those
resulting from an eye injury (a blow
or penetration by a foreign body) or
exposure to harmful chemicals.
Drug-induced cataracts: those
induced by the toxic effects of
certain drugs that are given as
medication, chiefly cortisone and its
derivatives.
Radiation cataracts: those’
associated with radiation (such as St-
rays and microwaves), intense heat
(as in "glass-blower cataracts”), or
intense light (ultraviolet light or
sunlight).
Cataracts usually develop
gradually without pain, redness, or
tearing in the eye. Some cataracts
