  • Don't Lose Sight of Cataract
    Don’t lose sight of Cataracts Information for people at risk What is cataract? 1 When the lens of your eye gets cloudy, it is called a cataract. It can cause vision loss in one or both eyes. It cannot spread from one eye to the other. What causes a cataract? 2 The lenses of the eyes are made mostly of water and protein. As we age, some of this protein may clump together and cloud the lenses of our eyes. Over time, this “cloud” may grow and cover more of the lens. This makes it harder to see. Smoking, alcohol use, diabetes, and prolonged exposure to the sun can also cause cataract. When are you most likely to have a cataract? 3 Older people mostly get cataracts. But people in their 40s and 50s may get them, especially if the eye has been injured. The risk of having a cataract increases after age 60, and by age 80, more than half of all Americans will have a cataract or will have had cataract surgery. Normal vision. What are the symptoms of a cataract? A scene as it might be viewed by a 4 When you first get a cataract, you may not notice much person with a cataract. change. Your vision may become blurry, as if looking through a foggy window. Or colors may not appear as bright as they once did. As the “cloud” over the lens of your eye grows, it may be harder for you to read. You may also see more glare from a lamp or car headlights at night.

    Robert A. Alberty 1921–2014 A Biographical Memoir by Gordon G. Hammes and Carl Frieden ©2014 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. ROBERT ARNOLD ALBERTY June 21, 1921–January 18, 2014 Elected to the NAS, 1965 Robert A. Alberty maintained an enthusiasm for science throughout his entire life. His presence at meetings was easily detectable, as he was blessed with an unmistak- able and booming voice that conveyed his latest scien- tific interests and above all his continual commitment to the science enterprise. Alberty directed this passion to thermodynamics and kinetics in particular, especially as applied to biological systems, and his research in these areas established a rich legacy for modern biophysical chemistry. He was a “triple-threat” scientist, excelling not only in research but also in teaching and university administration. Alberty (Bob to all who knew him) was born in Winfield, By Gordon G. Hammes Kansas, but when he was five years old his family moved and Carl Frieden to Lincoln, Nebraska. Even as a boy, he displayed a strong interest in science, exemplified by a basement chemistry laboratory and photographic dark room that he built in the family’s home. When he entered the University of Nebraska in 1939, Alberty had been planning a career as a chemical engineer, but then he discovered that this would require extensive coursework in drafting and surveying. Because he had already learned surveying from his grandfather, he saw no need to take college courses in the subject.
