Cataracts Explained: Types and Characteristics

The clouding of the natural lens characterizes cataracts. The lens, situated behind the iris, plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina for clear vision. Cataracts develop when proteins in the lens clump together, causing opacity and hindering light passage.

There are several types of cataracts, categorized by their location and cause:

  1. Nuclear Cataracts: These develop in the central core of the lens and often become denser over time.
  2. Cortical Cataracts: These form in the cortex, the outer layer of the lens, and typically appear as wedge-shaped spokes.
  3. Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts: These develop at the back of the lens capsule and can rapidly affect near vision and cause glare sensitivity.
  4. Congenital Cataracts: These occur in babies at birth or develop during childhood, often due to genetic factors.
  5. Traumatic Cataracts: These develop after an injury or trauma to the eye.
