Summaries for Cataract

About this section
KEGG : 36 Cataracts can be defined as any opacity of the crystalline lens, often associated with breakdown of the lens microarchitecture, possibly including vacuole formation and disarray of lens cells, which can cause large fluctuations in density resulting in light scattering. In addition, light scattering and opacity will occur if there is a significant amount of high molecular weight protein aggregates. Cataracts can be classified by the age at onset: a congenital or infantile cataract presents within the first year of life; a juvenile cataract presents within the first decade of life; a presenile cataract presents before the age of about 45 years, and senile or age-related cataract after that. Congenital cataracts are a major cause of induced blindness in children, and inherited cataracts are the major cause of congenital cataracts. Inherited congenital cataracts have been associated with mutations in specific genes, including those of crystallins, gap junction proteins, membrane transport and channel proteins, the cytoskeleton, and growth and transcription factors. Inherited congenital cataracts may be inherited as autosomal dominant (most frequent), autosomal recessive, or X-linked traits.

MalaCards based summary : Cataract, also known as cataracts, is related to cataract 1, multiple types and cataract 9, multiple types. An important gene associated with Cataract is LIM2 (Lens Intrinsic Membrane Protein 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. The drugs Tropicamide and Bimatoprost have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include Eye, endothelial and testes, and related phenotype is vision/eye.

Disease Ontology : 12 A lens disease characterized by clouding of the lens inside the eye which leads to a decrease in vision.

MedlinePlus : 42 A cataract is a clouding of the lens in your eye. It affects your vision. Cataracts are very common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. A cataract can occur in either or both eyes. It cannot spread from one eye to the other. Common symptoms are Blurry vision Colors that seem faded Glare - headlights, lamps or sunlight may seem too bright. You may also see a halo around lights. Not being able to see well at night Double vision Frequent prescription changes in your eye wear Cataracts usually develop slowly. New glasses, brighter lighting, anti-glare sunglasses or magnifying lenses can help at first. Surgery is also an option. It involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. Wearing sunglasses and a hat with a brim to block ultraviolet sunlight may help to delay cataracts. NIH: National Eye Institute

PubMed Health : 62 About cataracts: A cataract is an eye condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This causes vision to worsen, making it especially difficult to see fine details clearly. Some people’s vision is only slightly affected, whereas others might lose their eyesight very quickly. How it progresses will depend on things like the exact type of cataract. The word “cataract” comes from the Greek word for “waterfall” because in the past it was believed that the blurring was caused by a fluid in the eye. Cataracts mostly affect people over 50, and the risk increases with age: About 20 out of 100 people between the ages of 65 and 74 have a cataract. And more than 50 out of 100 people over the age of 74 are affected. Cataracts are the main cause of blindness in developing countries. The number of people who go blind from cataracts is considerably lower in industrialized countries due to the availability of effective surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy eye lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. It is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in Germany, where about 800,000 people have cataract surgery every year.

Drugs & Therapeutics for Cataract

About this section

PubMed Health treatment related to Cataract: 62

Some people can compensate for the vision loss, temporarily or even in the longer term, by wearing glasses or contact lenses . There are no medications for the treatment of cataracts . The only effective treatment is surgery . Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a new, artificial lens. The lens capsule – an elastic membrane surrounding the lens of the eye – is left in the eye during surgery. Only the inner core and the outer cortex of the lens are broken up into small pieces using ultrasound. The pieces are then sucked out of the eye through a small cut. This procedure, called phacoemulsification , is the standard technique in Germany and some other countries. Once the lens has been removed, an artificial lens is implanted into the lens capsule. Whether and when surgery is an appropriate treatment option is very much a personal decision. The extent to which vision loss is affecting someone’s life will play a very important role. Another factor to consider is the presence of other (eye ) conditions, which could affect the outcome of cataract surgery .
