This is the most common form of cataract and results from poorly understood biochemical changes in the lens. Some studies suggest an association with increased phospholipid, high non-fasting blood glucose, and increased blood pressure. Many different forms are reported, which may co-exist. The most common types are those in the lens nucleus, the lens cortex, and the posterior subscapule.
