One of the most commonly encountered pathologies in all settings of optometric practice is cataract. The cataract patient generally has many misconceptions concerning his visual status and the difficulty of the situation is compounded by the astronomical amount of material, often outdated, which exists on the subject. This paper is the first of a two-part series presented with the purpose of providing the optometrist with an overview of lens structure, cataract formation, classification, and clinical implications. Part I is comprised of a discussion of lens architecture, the physiology of cataract formation and a classification (with illustrations) of the more commonly encountered cataract types.
在所有验光实践场景中最常遇到的病症之一就是白内障。白内障患者通常对自己的视力状况存在许多误解，而且由于关于这个主题存在大量往往过时的资料，使得情况变得更加复杂。本文是一个分为两部分的系列文章中的第一篇，目的是为验光师提供晶状体结构、白内障形成、分类及临床意义的概述。第一部分包括对晶状体结构、白内障形成的生理学以及更常见的白内障类型的分类（配有插图）的讨论。
