What are Cataracts?
Education is a fundamental right, but for students with low vision, traditional learning environments can present significant challenges. Reading textbooks, taking notes, following lectures, and navigating classrooms become daily struggles that impact academic performance and self-confidence
Cataracts are a common eye condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision. They typically develop slowly over time and can interfere with daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces.
Cataracts can form in different parts of the lens, affecting vision in unique ways
What is the Difference Between Cataracts, Nuclear Cataracts, Cortical Cataracts, and Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts?
-
Nuclear Cataracts
These develop in the central (nuclear) part of the lens and often cause a gradual yellowing or browning of vision. -
Cortical Cataracts
These occur in the outer edges of the lens and extend inward in a spoke-like pattern, leading to glare and contrast issues. -
Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts (PSC)
These form at the back of the lens, just beneath the capsule that holds it in place. PSC develops faster than other types and significantly affects near vision and glare sensitivity, especially in bright light or at night.
Symptoms of Posterior
Subcapsular Cataracts
- Blurry vision, particularly in bright conditions
- Increased glare and halos around lights
- Difficulty reading small text
- Poor night vision
- A shadowy or dark spot in the center of vision
- Rapid progression compared to other types of cataracts
How Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts Affect Vision
Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts interfere with light entering the eye, causing vision to deteriorate quickly.
Since PSC develops at the back of the lens, it primarily affects near vision and can make tasks like reading or using digital screens more difficult.
Patients often report that they struggle with bright lights and feel like they are looking through a haze.
How is Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts Diagnosed?
-
Visual Acuity Test
Measures how clearly a person can see at different distances. -
Slit-Lamp Examination
Allows a detailed look at different parts of the eye, including the lens. -
Dilated Eye Exam
The pupils are widened to get a clear view of the cataract's location and severity. -
Glare Sensitivity Test
Evaluates how much light and glare affect vision.
