A Deeper Dive into Cataracts

The Surgical Approach

Posterior cortical opacities can significantly impact central vision, even when the observable opacity seems minimal. Prominent nuclear sclerosis, characterized by increased refractivity, can lead to progressive myopia. In intriguing cases of senile nuclear sclerosis, patients may regain the ability to read without spectacles, often describing this transformation as ‘second sight.’

As cataract opacification advances, vision gradually diminishes, ultimately leaving only perception of light in its wake. Even in advanced senile cataracts, there’s a remarkable resilience; patients can often count fingers from a few feet away or discern hand movements.

The Road to Recovery

Cataract Treatment

While medical treatments and drugs have proven ineffective in reversing cataract development, controlling underlying health conditions may slow its progression. However, once lens proteins coagulate, the transformation becomes irreversible. When a cataract reaches maturity, the most effective course of action is surgical removal.

For a deeper dive into this topic, we recommend referring to Stephen J.H. Miller’s “The Lens” Chapter of “Parson’s Diseases of the Eye.”

Cataracts Unveiled

A Closer Look

Cataracts, defined as any opacity within the lens or its capsule, can manifest through various symptoms. Understanding these symptoms is vital in diagnosing and addressing cataracts effectively.

Seeing Spots

Patients often report early visual disturbances, with spots appearing before their eyes. These spots exhibit erratic movement in the field of vision and don’t maintain a fixed position.

Uni-ocular Polyopia

Another prevalent early symptom involves the perception of doubled or tripled images of objects when viewed with one eye.

This phenomenon results from irregular refraction by the lens, creating multiple images of the same object. In some cases, coloured halos around objects may also be observed.

Central Vision Decline

As the opacity within the lens or capsule progresses and becomes denser, central vision acuity deteriorates.

The extent of this decline depends on the density and location of the opacity. For instance, in senile cortical cataracts with peripheral opacities, severe visual impairment may be delayed, and vision can improve when the pupil contracts in bright light. Conversely, if opacities are central, visual deterioration occurs early, and patients often experience better vision with a dilated pupil in dim illumination.
