Senile nuclear cataract - what does this mean
Senile nuclear cataract is a type of age-related cataract which occurs when the nucleus of the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and yellowed over time due to changes in the proteins of the lens. it is the most common type of cataract and usually affects people over the age of 60.
What happens during the disease - senile nuclear cataract
