An excessive amount of yellowing and light scattering affecting the centre of the lens is called nuclear cataract. The nuclear sclerosis is when the nucleus, i.e. the center of the eye, begins to get cloudy, yellow, and hardens. A part of the aging process in humans, nuclear sclerotic cataract also occurs in dogs, cats, and horses. When nuclear sclerosis eyes worsens, i.e. the lens becomes cloudier with age, the condition is called nuclear cataract. Further dehydration of the nucleus and the cortical part of the lens, coupled with heightened sclerosis, leads to nuclear senile cataract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes, a cloudy lens might be present at birth, which is called a congenital cataract. When the congenital cataract is present near the nucleus of the eye, it is called congenital nuclear cataract or fetal nuclear cataract.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is Nuclear Cataract?
