Senile cataract, morgagnian type - what does this mean
Senile cataract, morgagnian type is a type of age-related cataract which is caused by changes in the lens protein structure due to aging. this type of cataract is characterized by a thickening of the lens capsule and a yellowish-brown discoloration of the lens. it is usually seen in people over the age of 65.
What happens during the disease - senile cataract, morgagnian type
Senile cataract, morgagnian type is caused by a progressive accumulation of age-related protein aggregates in the lens of the eye. these aggregates are thought to be caused by oxidative damage to the lens proteins, which in turn leads to a decrease in the transparency of the lens and an increase in light scattering. this leads to vision problems, such as blurred vision, difficulty seeing in low light, and increased sensitivity to glare.
