Cataract Coppock

Coppock's cataract is an ophthalmological pathology: opacification of the lens substance, characterized by prolapse of the central part of the nucleus, accompanied by inflammation of the anterior capsule, an increasing zone of opacification along the edge of the nucleus. Also classified as nuclear powder cataract or Vogtian central powder cataract. The diagnosis is made by slit lamp examination, assessing peripheral and central vision, visual acuity. Treatment consists of surgery to remove the cataract.

The Coppoc surname is believed to be in the Coppocia family, in honor of early cataract researchers. In 1869, the famous German ophthalmologist Friedrich Vogt and her son Ludwig Voght discovered this form

Koepka cataract (synonym – nuclear powdery cataract, central Vogt cataract). Kopp's cataract is a nuclear cataract that occurs with layered decay of the lens nucleus in the center of the pupil. It occurs more often in middle-aged men and has no prognostic significance. Treatment is surgical only, but it is necessary to determine the timing of the operation depending on the reaction of the pupil to light. * Clinical
