Diabetic cataracts are often characterized by a rapid onset and may occur at a younger age in individuals with Diabetes, typically associated with fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Senile cataracts, on the other hand, develop gradually with aging and are primarily linked to the natural degeneration of lens proteins over time. While both types result in clouding of the lens and vision impairment, their causes and progression differ significantly. Additionally, diabetic cataracts may present with specific lens changes, such as swelling, compared to the more common nuclear or cortical changes seen in senile cataracts.
