CORRELATION OF AGE WITH MORPHOLOGICAL TYPES OF CATARACT.
Abstract
: Cataract formation results from the crystalline lens's loss of optical clarity for any reason. An opacity in the lens or its capsule is known as a cataract. The most prevalent form is age-related, which is brought on by the natural ageing process. The observational cross sectional study carried out, in outpatient department, with total The study involved 497 patients in all. Patients of any gender who are older than 40. People who have cataracts in one or both eyes. 91.15% of the cases in the current study's 994 total eyes had cataractous alterations in one or both of the eyes. The most prevalent type of cataract was nuclear sclerotic (77.37%), then mixed (6.95%), PSC (6.51%), and cortical (2.98%). Grades 3 and higher were more prevalent than the less severe grades when ranked by severity. Nuclear sclerotic and cortical cataract were most common in people between the ages of 51 and 60, respectively. PSC in ages 41 to 50, mature cataract in ages 61 to 70, and multiple cataract in ages 51 to 60. The average age of the eyes with mixed types of cataracts was 58.21 + 9.26 years. All cataract kinds' age differences were statistically different; P value: less than 0.001. Cataract is the most prevalent cause of blindness worldwide, posing substantial visual morbidity. Cataracts are most frequently caused by ageing.12 the mainstay of treatment continues to be surgical control. The epidemiological profile of age-related cataract is still not fully understood, though. This could be as a result of inconsistent standards and the presence of other ocular disorders. In order to better understand the morphology of age-related cataract, the current investigation was carried out.
