Q

Causes of cortical cataracts

91
Q

Lens get bigger or smaller

93
Q

What are the 4 stages of cortical cataract progression?

A
  1. incipient (immature)
97
Q

Describe the incipient stage of cortical cataract

A

immature cataract

99
Q

Describe the intumescent stage of cortical cataract

A

phakomorphic/phakogenic glc

104
Q

Describe the mature stage of cortical cataract

A

all lens fibers are opaque

107
Q

Describe the hypermature stage of cortical cataract

A

phakolytic

112
Q

Morgagnian Cataract

A

type of hypermature cortical cataract

115
Q

Posterior Subcapsular Cataract (PSC)

A

Senescent cataract (younger pt than NS)

123
Q

TF: small PSC can cause large decreases in VA

A

yes, because the PSC cataract will lie close to the nodal points of the eye, causeing the dramatic decrease in VA

124
Q

Nuclear cataract

A

Senescent cataract (more predictable age wise)

131
Q

Brunescent cataract

133
Q

Cataract Nigra

135
Q

Senescent cataract where dist VA affected more than near VA

A

Nuclear cataract

136
Q

Senescent cataract where near VA affected more than dist VA

A

Posterior subcapsular cataract

137
Q

Grading Nuclear cataracts

141
Q

Grading cortical cataracts

A

1+ 10% pupillary space

145
Q

Grading posterior subcapsular cataracts

A

1+ 3% capsular area

A

traumatic cataract

154
Q

Rosette cataract

A

traumatic cataract

157
Q

Exfoliation cataract

A

traumatic cataract

161
Q
