Oct 23, 2024 · A nuclear cataract, also called a nuclear sclerotic cataract, is the clouding and hardening of the central part of the eye’s lens. Nuclear cataracts progress slowly over time and are age-related. They can develop in one or both eyes.

Feb 2, 2018 · Senile cataract is a vision-impairing disease caused by age, and it is characterized by the gradual progressive thickening of the lens in the eye. This disease is the world’s leading...

Dec 20, 2023 · A nuclear cataract is a type of cataract that affects the center of the eye's lens, causing cloudy vision. Read about the risk factors, treatment, and outlook.

Jun 8, 2022 · Nuclear cataracts are the most common kind of cataract, characterized by a clumping of proteins in the eye’s nucleus. They form in the center , or nucleus, of the eye’s lens and cloud vision. This is usually due to these proteins breaking down as a result of aging.

Jun 14, 2022 · Typically, nuclear sclerosis cataracts are caused by age and age-related changes in the eye. The protein in the lens of the eye keeps it clear so light passes through. With age, the proteins start to break down. This happens slowly, so …

When nuclear sclerosis eyes worsens, i.e. the lens becomes cloudier with age, the condition is called nuclear cataract. Further dehydration of the nucleus and the cortical part of the lens, coupled with heightened sclerosis, leads to nuclear senile cataract. Sometimes, a cloudy lens might be present at birth, which is called a congenital cataract.
