A review of Japanese health insurance records covering 2.46 million people found that those who have suffered from heatstroke are twice as likely to develop cataracts. The condition clouds the eye lens and blurs vision.

In a study recently published in the Environmental Research journal, the researchers at the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) said the risk of cataracts is 1.96 times higher for those with a history of heatstroke.
