How quickly do cataracts develop?

Cataracts are a progressive condition and usually develop gradually over a couple of years.

However, if the cause of the cataract is diabetes or trauma to the eye, the cataract may develop rapidly. How quickly cataracts develop also depends on the type of cataract.
