Traumatic cataract - what does this mean
Traumatic cataract occurs when the lens of the eye is damaged due to a physical injury, such as a blow to the head, a foreign body entering the eye, or a chemical burn. this damage causes the lens to become cloudy, resulting in a decrease in vision due to the obstruction of light entering the eye.
What happens during the disease - traumatic cataract
Traumatic cataract is caused by physical trauma to the eye, such as blunt force trauma or a penetrating object, which damages the lens of the eye and causes the proteins to clump together and become opaque. this leads to a decrease in the amount of light that can pass through the lens, resulting in vision impairment.
