    The document discusses cataracts, including their anatomy, growth, metabolism, examination, etiology, morphology, and maturity. It describes the lens diameter and refractive properties. It explains that the youngest cells are on the surface and oldest in the center. Symptoms of cataracts include blurred vision, difficulty with night driving, and glare. Cataracts are classified based on etiology (acquired vs congenital), morphology (cortical, nuclear), and maturity (mature, hypermature, Morganian). Senile cataracts often develop after age 50 and occur as cortical or nuclear types. Metabolic and traumatic cataracts are also discussed. Surgical management is indicated for visual improvement, medical reasons, or cos

    ANATOMY

    • Diameter: 9-10 mm
    • Anterior surface (radius: 10 mm) & Posterior surface (radius: 6 mm)
    • Refractive Indeks: 1.39; Refractive Power: 15-16 D
    GROWTH
    • Youngest cells are always on the
    surface and the oldest cells in the
    center of the lens.
    METABOLISM
    EXAMINATION

    Retroillumination
    (Bruckner Test)
    Opacities appear black in
    the red pupil
    CATARACT
    • Loss of transparency • Symptoms
    (opaque) of the lens. • Blurred vision
    • Difficulty in night driving
    • Objects appear browner or yellower
    • Image distortion
    • Monocular or multiple images
    • Glare
    • Loss ability to discern colors
    CATARACT
    • Based on:
    • Etiology (acquired of congenital cataracts)
    • Morphology
    • Maturity
    CATARACT -
    ETIOLOGY
    SENILE CATARACT
    • Age-related cataract, usually above 50 years. By age of 70
    years, over 90% individual will develop senile cataract.
    • Occurs in 2 forms:
    • Cortical (soft cataract)
    • Cuneiform
    • Cupuliform
    • Nuclear (hard cataract)
    CATARACT - MORPHOLOGICAL
    NUCLEAR SENILE CATARACT
    • In 40th, lens become hardening because of the over
    production  especially the nucleus.
    • Yellowish-brown colour
    CORTICAL SENILE CATARACT
    METABOLIC & SYSTEMIC-RELATED
    CATARACT

    • Diabetic Cataract (snowflake cataract)


    • Galactosemic Cataract
    • Hypocalcaemic Cataract
    • Wilson’s Disease
    • Myotonic dystrophy
    • Shield like anterior subcapsular in atopic dermatitis
    TRAUMATIC CATARACT
    • Most common cause of unilateral cataract in young individuals
    • Penetrating trauma
    • Blunt trauma may cause a characteristic flower-shaped opacity
    • Electric shock is a rare cause of cataract, patterns including
    diffuse milky-white opacification and multiple snowflake- like
    opacities, sometimes in a stellate subcapsular distribution
    • Infrared radiation, if intense as in glassblowers, may rarely
    cause true exfoliation of the anterior lens capsule
    • Ionizing radiation exposure such as for ocular tumour treatment
    may cause posterior subcapsular opacities. These may not
    manifest for months or years.
