Infantile, juvenile and presenile cataract - what does this mean
Infantile, juvenile and presenile cataract are all forms of age-related cataracts, which are caused by changes in the proteins of the lens of the eye. these changes cause the lens to become cloudy, blocking light from entering the eye and leading to a decrease in vision.
What happens during the disease - infantile, juvenile and presenile cataract
Infantile, juvenile and presenile cataract is a condition caused by the clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. this clouding is caused by the accumulation of proteins in the lens, which can be due to genetic mutations, aging, or exposure to certain toxins. in some cases, the clouding can be caused by inflammation or trauma to the eye, which can disrupt the normal functioning of the lens. the exact cause of the condition is often difficult to determine, but whatever the cause, the result is reduced vision and, in some cases, blindness.
