| Posterior Subcapsular cataract | |
| Prolonged use of glucocorticoids is a significant risk factor for the development of posterior subcapsular cataract. Steroid-induced cataract has three main distinctive characteristics: (i) association only with steroids possessing glucocorticoid activity, (ii) involvement of aberrant migrating lens epithelial cells, and (iii) a central posterior location.
