B. Cortical Cataracts opacities in the
lens cortex.
> Bilateral and asymmetric
> First signs are vacuoles and
water clefts
> Cortical spokes/cuneiform
opacities form near the periphery of
the lens, edge pointing towards the
center.
Age-Related Cataract
C. Posterior subcapsular cataracts
located in the cortex near the central
posterior capsule.
- Typically causes early visual symptoms
due to its location.
- Lens epithelial cell migrate from lens
equator to visual axis of inner surface of
posterior capsule

Cataract Surgery
Involves the extraction of the entire lens, including the posterior capsule.
Involves the removal of the lens nucleus through an opening in the anterior
capsule with retention of the integrity of the posterior capsule.
