Cataract: Secondary Diseases

The following are the most important diseases or complications that can be caused by cataract:

Eyes and eye appendages (H00-H59).

  • Age-related macular degeneration (is suspected).
  • Rapidly increasing lens swelling may cause spontaneous rupture of the thinned lens capsule. This causes lens protein to leak out, which can cause uveitis (inflammation of the middle eye skin, which consists of the choroid (choroid), the ray body (corpus ciliare) and the iris) and thus secondarily glaucoma.
  • Glaucoma case due toincrease in thickness comes to the flattening of the anterior chamber of the eye, over whose chamber angle the aqueous humor formed by the ray body normally flows off
  • Recurrence (recurrence) of the cataract.
  • Severe visual disturbances up to amaurosis (blindness).
