Why This talk??
 To Diagnose the type of
cataract correctly
 For Providing the patient
a proper guidelines for
its treatment
 For better counselling.
Growth Of Lens
1. Embryonic
(1st 3 months)
2. Foetal
(3 months-till
birth)
3. Juvenile
(Birth  Puberty)
4. Adult
(After Puberty-
rest of the life)
5. Cortex
6. Capsule
Anatomy of Lens
 Lens Epithelium:-
 Carry out Metabolic activities which
also include DNA , RNA , Protein , And
Lipid Biosynthesis.
 Generates Epithelial lens which
furthur elongates to form Lens Fibers
cells.
 This New Cells are Do not have
organells & generate energy from
glycolysis.
 Nucleus & Cortex:-
 No cells are lost from The Lens.
 Nucleus is Central part containing Oldest
Fibers
 Cortex is Peripheral Part Containing
Youngest Fibers. Lens Fibers are Hexagonal
in shape.
Anatomy of Lens
 Capsule:-
 Elastic Transparent Basement
Membrane made of Epithelial
Cells
 Provides Source of
attachment For the Zonular
Fibres.
 Contains Lens Substance &
Help in Accomodation.
 Zonules:-
 Originates from the basal lamina of the
non pigmented epithelium of pars
plana and pars plicata of ciliary body.
 Are distributed as:-
o the Anterior fibers.
o Equatorial Fibers.
o Posterior fibers.
Prevalance of Cataract in India
Prevalence In Rural Areas
Prevalence In Urban Areas
One Question??
 Cornea Do Aerobic Respiration & Lens Do
Anaerobic Respiration.
Definition
 A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye
which leads to a decrease in vision.
 Or in simple words it is  development of any
opacity in Lens or its Capsule.
 Cataract is like  Looking through a waterfall
Reason Behind The Cataract
 Hydration Of Lens.
 Denaturation Of Lens
Fibres.
 Slow Sclerorsis.

Congenital Cataract
 Congenital Cataracts Occur in a variety of
morphologic configurations like :-
CONGENITAL CATARACT
Polar
Anterior Polar cataract
 Pyramidal Cataract
 Re-Duplicated Cataract
CONGENITAL CATARACT
Polar
Posterior polar Cataract
 Mitendorfs Dot
 PHPV
Congenital Cataract
Coronary Cataract
 Club Shaped opacities
CONGENITAL CATARACT
Lamellar cataracts. (a) Lamellar
opacities around the fetal nucleus with
cortical riders (see arrows) on the
periphery; (b) optical section under
slit-lamp biomicroscopy; (c) lamellar
opacities around the fetal nucleus
without cortical riders on the
periphery; (d) optical section under
slit-lamp biomicroscopy
Lamellar Cataract
Congenital Cataract
Central pulverulent cataract
 Opacification in Embryonic nucleus
Congenital Cataract
Sutural cataract
Sutural cataracts. (a) Y-suture with perinuclear opacities; (b) anterior Y-suture with cortiacal cerulean
opacities; (c) anterior and posterior Y-sutures with cortical punctate opacities (d)
Dendritic sutural cataract
Congenital Cataract
Membranous Cataract
 Occurs Due to resorbed of lens
proteins
Congenital Cataract
Focal dot opacities
 Also know As Cataracta-punctata
Caerulea
Congenital Cataract
Complete Cataract
 Opacification of all the lens fibres.
 No red relfex is observed.
Aquired Cataract

 It Causes Harmalopia.

 Colours of this cataract tinted dark
brown, dusky red or even black.

Physical Factors leading to Cataract
Trauma
Electric Shock
Radiation
Toxic Agents leading to Cataract
Cortico-steroids chlorpromazine cataract
Sunflower
After Cataract
 PCO- Posterior capsular opacification.
Elschnig pearl formation (arrow)
No Slit-Lamp.. No Problem!!
 We Can Also see the cataract with torch light or
Retinoscope just we need to observe the following
things:-
 Color Of the lens
 Iris Shadow
 Vision of the person
One More Question??
 Lens is Named  Crystalline Lens just because
it transmit light like a Crystal !! Really??
QUIZ!!
This cataract is so dense that the
cortex has liquefied, allowing the
nucleus to sink to the bottom of
the lens capsule. This special type
of very dense cataract is known as
a Morgagnian cataract.
