The result is a blurred vision and light sensitivity. Untreated cataracts can lead to serious vision and possibly blindness.

Types of cataract:

1. Nuclear cataracts are the most common, and form the core of the lens during the natural aging process.
2. Cortical cataracts are diabetes, in the lens cortex (the outer edge of the lens), and gradually to extend to the center of the lens.
3. Sub capsular cataracts are most common in people with Retinitis pigmentosa, a high degree of visibility, or taking steroids. This form of cataract on the back of the lens and the rapid progress.
