Description

Cataract is an opacification of the lens or lens capsule in the eye and is the most common cause of childhood blindness in the world, with an incidence of 1 to 3 per 10,000 live births. If untreated in infancy or childhood, it frequently causes visual impairment and can result in irreversible amblyopia. Nuclear cataract refers to opacification within the embryonal and/or fetal nuclei of the lens (summary by Berry et al., 2013).
