Can you tell me about being diagnosed with posterior subcapsular cataracts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back of lens: This is a change in the lens transparency from the growth of material under the back, central portion of the lens. It is typical as a complication of systemic diseases and medications like high dose steroids. It can occur naturally and usually is more common in slightly younger patients than ordinary senile cataracts.
