Cataract Surgery Co-Management
What are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a clouding-over of your eye lens, causing loss of vision. There are three types of cataracts:
-
Subcapsular cataract: forms at the back of the lens
• Nuclear cataract: forms in the nucleus, or center, of the lens
• Cortical cataract: forms in the periphery of the lens
The type of cataract you have may affect the symptoms you experience. Symptoms that may indicate you have a cataract include:
-
Blurred vision
• Sensitivity to the sun
• Colors look dull
