Let's strengthen our fundamentals!
Hereby introducing the BRIDGE Series, where I discuss the basic sciences in ophthalmology connecting with relevant applied aspects. The first in the series is on the Crystalline Lens. In part 1, we discussed the basic sciences Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry.
In this Part 2, we shall learn on:
1. What is a cataract?
2. Etiologies + Pathophysiology + Morphology of cataracts:
a. Congenital
b. Agerelated Nuclear, Cortical, PSCC
c. Metabolic incl. Diabetic cataract
d. Traumatic
e. Druginduced
f. Secondary/ complicated
