Fuchs's cataract (lat. cataracta Fuchsii) is an eye disease in which clouding of the lens of the eye occurs. It can be caused by various factors, such as age-related changes, eye injury, diabetes and other diseases.
Fuchs's cataract appears as a white or gray spot on the pupil of the eye. This spot may be small or occupy most of the pupil. It can cause blurred vision, especially in bright light.
Treatment for fuchs cataracts involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial one. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. After the operation, the patient can return to normal life within a few days.
Even though fuchs cataracts can be treated with surgery, they are still a serious problem for many people. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health and consult a doctor at the first signs of illness.
