Posterior capsule opacification (PCO)

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO): Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a common complication following cataract surgery, occurring when the posterior capsule of the eye becomes cloudy or opaque. This condition arises due to the proliferation and migration of residual lens epithelial cells left behind during cataract surgery. PCO can lead to visual […]

Cortical cataract

Cortical cataract: Cortical cataract Cortical cataract is a type of cataract that affects the outer layer of the lens in the eye, known as the cortex. It is characterized by the formation of wedge-shaped opacities that develop in the lens cortex, disrupting the passage of light through the lens and causing visual disturbances. Cortical cataracts […]

Congenital cataracts

Congenital cataracts: Congenital cataracts Congenital cataracts are lens opacities that are present at birth or develop during infancy. They can occur as isolated abnormalities or as part of a syndrome affecting other parts of the body. Congenital cataracts may impair vision development if left untreated, leading to amblyopia (lazy eye) or other visual impairments. The […]
