This session provides a comprehensive review of cataract, including lens anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology of lens opacification, and classification of cataract types. Etiological factors such as congenital, senile, traumatic, metabolic, and drug-induced cataracts are discussed. Clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and current surgical treatment options—particularly phacoemulsification—are covered with an emphasis on practical clinical decision-making.
Following the lecture, we held a Kahoot quiz to reinforce the key concepts, awarded prizes to the top-performing students, and concluded with an interactive Q&A session.
