Senile incipient cataract - what does this mean
Senile incipient cataract is a common age-related eye condition that occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy and progressively thickens, resulting in blurred vision. it is caused by age-related changes in the eye that cause the proteins in the lens to clump together and form deposits.
What happens during the disease - senile incipient cataract
Senile incipient cataract is caused by age-related changes in the lens of the eye. as the lens ages, it becomes less elastic and protein deposits accumulate in the lens, causing it to become cloudy and impairing vision. this condition is more common in people over the age of 65 and can eventually progress to a full-blown cataract if left untreated.
