What is traumatic cataract?

Traumatic cataract mainly refers to ocular trauma caused by lens opacity caused by visual impairment disease.

Traumatic cataract occurs in children and young people, often single eye injury. Patients are prone to vision loss, contrast sensitivity decline, diplopia, glare and other uncomfortable symptoms during the illness. If the lens opacity is not improved in time, it will cause glaucoma, lens sensitivity uveitis, phacolytic glaucoma and other complications. Trauma types include blunt trauma, penetrating injury, explosive injury, electric shock injury and chemical injury.
