H25.1ICD-10-CM Code for Age-related nuclear cataract H25. 1.
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.Sep 9, 2020
If the nuclear sclerosis is severe enough, it's called a nuclear cataract. The proteins in the lens start to clump, scattering light instead of allowing it to pass through. Cataracts cause about half of all blindness in the world, and nuclear cataracts are the most common type.
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 sclerosis is a hardening and yellowing of the center, or nucleus, of the eye's lens. It is a normal and natural process that occurs with age.
There are three primary types of cataracts: nuclear sclerotic, cortical and posterior subcapsular.

'Cortical' means the outer layer of something, which refers to the fact this cataract starts in the outer edge of the lens – the opposite of a nuclear sclerotic cataract. As a cortical cataract progresses it forms spoke-like lines that lead into the centre of the lens, causing light to scatter as it enters the eye.May 28, 2021
They may occur in people of all ages, but are most common in the elderly. A disorder characterized by partial or complete opacity of the crystalline lens of one or both eyes. This results in a decrease in visual acuity and eventual blindness if untreated.
A condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Symptoms include blurred, cloudy, or double vision; sensitivity to light; and difficulty seeing at night. Without treatment, cataracts can cause blindness. There are many different types and causes of cataracts.
