Types of Cataract

• Cortical Cataracts
• This type of cataract initially grows on the
  outer edges of the lens like white stripes and
  gradually moves inwards toward the lens, reducing
  ones overall visibility.
• Congenital Cataracts
• Congenital cataracts are caused by genetically
  transmitted disorders, which usually occur in
  small children. They might be caused due to
  previous trauma or injury and develop later as
  one grows older. 
• Nuclear Cataracts
• A nuclear cataract, instead of hindering your
  eyesight, will conversely improve your vision,
  making it clear and sharp.
• Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts
• It starts growing from behind the eye lens,
  preventing the retina from collecting enough
  light. It causes a disturbance in your reading
  vision and creates glares around the lights at
  nighttime.
