Other senile cataract - what does this mean

Other senile cataract occurs when the proteins in the lens of the eye become damaged and clump together due to the natural aging process, causing the lens to become cloudy and impairing vision.

What happens during the disease - other senile cataract

Senile cataracts are caused by the natural aging process of the eye lens. as we age, the proteins within the lens become increasingly damaged and clump together, creating a cloudy appearance that blocks light from reaching the retina, resulting in blurred vision. this damage is also compounded by oxidative stress and inflammation, which further contributes to the breakdown of the lens proteins.
