Initially, a cataract presents discretely and may even go unnoticed, but the visual impairment worsens as the cataract grows larger. [amboss.com]
Gastrointestinal

Diarrhea
[…] health implications The present study supports the hypothesis of Shinohara et al. [ 63 ] which states that a cataract can be considered a window that can indicate the presence of systemic disorders such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, severe diarrhea [omicsonline.org]

Dry Eyes
Contact lenses irritate the eye if you have any kind of dry eye there's a concern when you do LASIK surgery that it can irritate a dry eye problem that's there. [abc30.com]
I have also had very dry eyes ever since the surgery. I was told that I was a good candicate for the surgery and that the dry eye thing would not be a problem for me. [lasikcomplications.com]
Your problem could be cataracts but it could also just be that your glasses need updating or that you have dry eyes. Have a very happy holiday season! Dr. [lakeshorevision.com]

Lacrimation
[…] apparatus: Canaliculodacryocystostomy is a surgical correction for a congenitally blocked tear duct in which the closed segment is excised and the open end is joined to the lacrimal sac. [14] [32] Canaliculotomy involves slitting of the lacrimal punctum [en.wikibooks.org]
The lacrimal system was patent in all 5 patients. No means were available to isolate any organisms. [cehjournal.org]

Fear
Fear not, nothing could be farther from the truth with cataract surgery these days. We do cataract surgery generally without shots, stitches or patches and the whole procedure takes only 10-15 minutes. [lakeshorevision.com]

Excitement
Pascual is interested in the molecular mechanisms that cause inherited metabolic and excitability disorders using electrophysiology and nuclear magnetic resonance both in human subjects and in models of human diseases. [books.google.com]
This makes cataract surgery an exciting time, because patients who had been nearsighted or farsighted can now be made to have excellent vision without glasses. 20 years ago all patients receive the same type of lens with their cataract surgery. [beyereye.com]
MDA bound to TBA (MDA-TBA) was specifically analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (excitation, 525 nm; emission, 551 nm) using phosphate-buffered methanol as eluent. [lasikcomplications.com]

Ataxia
He described Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), an autosomal dominant ataxia, with William Nyhan, M.D. Ph.D, in 1976, for the first time. MJD is now the most common autosomal domiant spinocerebellar ataxia world-wide. Dr. [books.google.com]

Treatment
Ocular exams were performed at baseline, frequently during treatment, and 6 months following discontinuation of treatment. [bloodjournal.org]
Food and Drug Administration has chosen Wave Life Sciences’ planned phase 2/3 study of suvodirsen, its lead experimental therapy for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, to break new ground. [globalgenes.org]
Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment is available. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
However, if these measures do not help, surgery is often the only effective treatment. Surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Prognosis
If glaucomatous-like visual field is present prior to surgical intervention, the prognosis for the patient is not as good as if the visual field were completely intact. Thus, a visual field test may be done prior to surgery. [surgeryencyclopedia.com]

Etiology
Etiology Clouding of the lens may be congenital or acquired. [amboss.com]
The etiological role of these risk factors in the outcome of cataract is confirmed by the estimates of attributable risk proportion. [ijo.in]
Laser iridotomy may be also be indicated for patients with malignant glaucoma to help identify the etiology of elevated IOP. [surgeryencyclopedia.com]
It is likely that multiple entities are represented but until the molecular etiologies are identified, no more specific classification is possible. Studies in mice document that the Atoh7 gene is important to retinal ganglion cell neurogenesis. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
CONCLUSION: This case shows the importance of considering the diagnosis and determining the specific etiology of interface fluid syndrome, even years after the laser in situ keratomileusis surgery, when endothelial cell function has been compromised with [lasikcomplications.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the world Prevalence of acquired cataracts Increases with age Sex: References: [1] [2] [3] [4] Epidemiological data refers to the US, unless otherwise specified. [amboss.com]
This epidemiologic study also did not identify significant association of BMI and cataract. [ijo.in]
Population based epidemiological studies in Melbourne 57 and Framingham 58 have reported a twofold to threefold elevation in cataract prevalence among subjects with affected siblings for cortical and nuclear/subcapsular cataract respectively. [bjo.bmj.com]
The relationship between obesity and cataracts has been investigated in many epidemiological studies, but the findings are not universally consistent. [omicsonline.org]

Pathophysiology
A third possibility is that identifying the genes controlling age related cataract will lead to a better understanding of lens pathophysiology, which in turn will result in the discovery of specific anticataract agents which are broadly effective and [bjo.bmj.com]
Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association of obesity and cataracts. [omicsonline.org]

Natural Cataract Symptoms Prevention and Treatment It’s said that cataracts aren’t completely preventable, but everyone seems to agree that their occurrence can definitely be delayed. [draxe.com]
Cataract prevention Though there is significant controversy about whether cataracts can be prevented, a number of studies suggest certain nutrients and nutritional supplements may reduce your risk of cataracts. [allaboutvision.com]
