Nuclear cataracts grow slowly over many years but can become very large and hard, which complicates their removal.
The three different classifications of cataract grading are nuclear, cortical and posterior subscapular cataract. The most common method of grading is called lens opacities classification system3
People who smoke more than 25 cigarettes per day are three times as likely as nonsmokers to develop nuclear or PSC cataracts. Smoking does not appear to be related to cortical cataracts.
Combined forms of age-related cataract refer to the coexistence of multiple cataract types within the same eye, typically including nuclear sclerotic, cortical, and posterior subcapsular cataracts. This combination can complicate the clinical presentation and management of cataracts, as each type affects vision differently. The nuclear sclerotic cataract often leads to changes in lens density and color, while cortical cataracts cause visual distortions, and posterior subcapsular cataracts can impair near vision. Understanding these combined forms is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment planning.
Such cataracts are called complicated cataracts.
Stage 2 cataracts represent a slight nuclear opacity which includes swollen fibers that produce scattering 2-3 days after injection of selenite. Very little scattering is observed. Stage 3 cataracts represent diffuse cortical scattering that is difficult to see in anterior view 3-4 days after injection of selenite.
