Senile cataract, unspecified - what does this mean
Senile cataract, unspecified occurs when the lens of the eye becomes clouded with age, leading to a decrease in vision. it is a common condition among the elderly and is caused by the gradual thickening and yellowing of the lens, which prevents light from passing through to the retina.
What happens during the disease - senile cataract, unspecified
Senile cataract is a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes increasingly opaque over time due to the accumulation of proteins and other substances in the lens. this is caused by the breakdown of the structural proteins in the lens, which leads to the formation of insoluble aggregates that create a clouding of the lens and reduce the amount of light that can pass through it. as a result, vision becomes impaired and may eventually lead to blindness.
