Phacosclerosis is not a type of cataract; rather, it refers to a condition characterized by the hardening of the lens of the eye, often associated with aging. While it can occur alongside cataracts, which involve clouding of the lens, phacosclerosis specifically addresses the lens's increased density and rigidity. Therefore, while they can be related, they are distinct conditions.
If an extracapsular cataract extraction was performed, a secondary cataract may develop in the remaining back portion of the capsule.

A cataract is the clouding of the lens in the eye preventing normal vision by restricting light passage through the lens. The most common type of cataract due to unprotected exposure to sun rays is nuclear cataracts. Cataract affect people usually as they age due to the changes in the proteins in the lens.
YAG capsulotomy is most often used for this type of cataract.
Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is a procedure in which an ultrasonic device is used to break up and then remove a cloudy lens, or cataract, from the eye to improve vision. The insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) usually immediately follows
A cataract that is not operable is typically referred to as a "mature cataract" or "hyper mature cataract," where the lens has become extremely cloudy and may even have undergone significant changes, such as liquefaction or calcification. In cases where the cataract has led to complications like glaucoma or other eye diseases, surgery may also be deemed too risky. Additionally, patients with certain health conditions or those who are unable to undergo anesthesia may be considered unsuitable for cataract surgery.
Femto laser-assisted cataract surgery is a new and innovative way to perform cataract surgery. It uses a special type of laser to create precise incisions in the eye, which allows the surgeon to remove the cataract with greater accuracy and efficiency. During the surgery, the surgeon first creates a tiny opening in the eye using the laser. They then use the laser to soften the cataract, which makes it easier to remove. Finally, they use a special tool to remove the cataract and replace it with an artificial lens.
