Moderate cortical changes. Wedge-shaped (cuneiform) or spoke-like (wheel) peripheral changes are seen. These changes may be extensive but may not affect Snellen visual acuity since they occur in the periphery.
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
Cataract types are designated by where the cataract is located .Posterior Subcapsular cataracts are on the back surface of the lens. Nuclear is the center part of the lens, and the term Cortical is used when the problem is with the peripheral part of the lens.
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.
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.
