The three most common types of cataracts in adults are nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular cataracts. Congenital cataracts are a major cause of leukocoria in infants and can lead to vision loss and amblyopia if left untreated.<\/p>\n
Nuclear cataracts are the most common type.\u00a0These usually manifest with blurred vision, myopic shift, and loss of blue\/yellow color perception.\u00a0They are most commonly associated with increased age, but smoking, gender, and diet may also influence their development.<\/p>\n
