There are cataracts that form as early as 49 years and earlier and can be very fast growing - you become blind very fast. Sun damage is the main cause of cataracts (Australians get them more often and relatively very young). It starts from when you are young and builds - the damage is accumulative but not apparent until it is too late when symptoms appear.
As a driver you are more exposed to potential sun damage than normally exposed Aussies - a professional health hazard.
