The doctor tells me it runs in families and usually starts showing up after age 40.

Well, my Bill, being a Maupin, developed cataracts and had implants in both eyes before age 45 yrs. His father developed cataracts while in his 30's. Our daughter is just turned 41 and was told 2 yrs ago that she has a start. It must run in the family.
