Complicated cataract - what does this mean
Complicated cataracts are caused by a variety of factors, including trauma or infection, and are characterized by a thickening and hardening of the lens that affects vision. in some cases, the cataract may be accompanied by other eye problems, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or retinal detachment.
What happens during the disease - complicated cataract
Complicated cataract is a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and distorted due to the accumulation of proteins and other materials, leading to impaired vision. the underlying cause is usually aging, uv exposure, or diabetes, which may lead to oxidative damage and inflammation of the lens, resulting in the accumulation of proteins and other materials. this can lead to a decrease in light transmission, causing blurred vision and other vision problems.
