Thermal cataract is a type of cataract that develops due to exposure to high temperatures, particularly from sources like infrared radiation or excessive heat. This condition typically results in the denaturation of lens proteins, leading to opacification and loss of transparency in the eye's lens. It is often observed in individuals who work in environments with intense heat, such as glassblowers or metalworkers. Preventative measures include using protective eyewear to minimize exposure to extreme temperatures.
