Cataract Subcapsular

Cataract is one of the most common eye diseases. One of the most dangerous and complex types of cataracts is subcapsular. This form of the disease is characterized by the formation of opacities in the pupillary area. Subcapsular cataract is also called nuclear or iridescent. In this form of the disease, the disease begins to develop against the background of changes in the lens of the eye, which becomes less transparent and its ability to transmit light rays deteriorates.

Subcapsular cataracts develop with age-related changes in the lens. In some people it may begin to develop in adulthood, while in others it may begin in childhood. As a rule, this form of the disease is most often caused by eye injuries, various eye anomalies in the children's age group, and lack of proper eye care. Also, in most cases, this type of cataract occurs against the background of other eye pathologies. As a result of the development of the disease, the nutrition of the lens tissues is disrupted and the processes of normal formation of new cells are inhibited. As a result, the affected tissues gradually lose their transparency and become impenetrable to light rays, which leads to vision problems.

With the development of this disease, a violation of light conduction through the pupil may occur. This in turn can cause vision loss. The seriousness of the danger of developing this type of cataract
