As we age, new fibers form around the edges of the lens. This pushes the older lens material toward the center of the lens, causing the center to be denser and cloudier. The lens may also take on a yellowish color. If the nuclear sclerosis is severe enough, it's called a nuclear cataract.
Age-related nuclear cataract is a major cause of blindness. It is characterised by opacification and colouration in the centre of the lens and is accompanied by extensive protein oxidation.

Nuclear sclerotic cataracts are most common. This form of cataract begins in the middle of the eye and hardens the eye lens. As these cataracts progress, the lens becomes cloudy and may appear yellow or brown. Distance vision is the first thing to go.
Senile cataract is an age-related, vision-impairing disease characterized by gradual progressive clouding and thickening of the lens of the eye. It is the world's leading cause of treatable blindness.
Cataracts may occur together, and they are then called a combined cataract (Figure 4). Cataracts adjacent to the capsule are called subcapsular cataracts. Anterior and posterior subcapsular cataracts may occur in younger people because they are associated with diabetes and steroid use.
There are three primary types of cataracts: nuclear sclerotic, cortical and posterior subcapsular.Nuclear Sclerotic Cataracts. ... Cortical Cataracts. ... Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts.
Nuclear cataracts form in the middle of the lens and cause the nucleus, or the center, to become yellow or brown. Cortical cataracts are wedge-shaped and form around the edges of the nucleus.
Cortical cataracts are a kind of cataract that develops in the edges of the lens and then make their way towards the center in a spoke-like manner. A cortical cataract occurs in the edges of the lens – the cortex – hence the name cortical cataracts.
