There are three types of cataracts, each of which can cause their own unique vision problems.
Nuclear Cataract
01) A nuclear cataract is caused by the natural aging process. This type of cataract forms in the center of the lens.
Cortical Cataract
02) A cortical cataract is often found in patients with diabetes. This type of cataract forms on the outer region of the lens and later extends toward the center.
Subcapsular Cataract
03) A subcapsular cataract is often found in patients with diabetes, retinitis pigmentosa (a degenerative retina disorder), extreme farsightedness, or patients using high doses of steroids. This type of cataract develops at the back of the lens.
