What is another word for nuclear sclerosis?
Pronunciation: [njˈuːkli͡ə skləɹˈə͡ʊsɪs] (IPA) 
Nuclear sclerosis refers to the age-related hardening and opacification of the lens of the eye. Some common synonyms for this condition include age-related cataracts, lens opacity, and mature cataracts. Other related terms that may be used include cortical cataracts and posterior subcapsular cataracts, which refer to other types of opacities that can occur in the lens. While nuclear sclerosis is a natural part of the aging process, it can lead to significant visual impairment if left untreated. Fortunately, there are a number of surgical and non-surgical options available for managing this common condition and preserving visual function.
