11. Posterior sub-capsular cataracts can develop along with nuclear sclerotic cataracts

Nuclear sclerotic cataracts are the usual aging cataracts due to a lifetime of sun exposure. PSC cataracts can occur from corticosteroid use over time. Removing the cataract solves both types. I'm scheduled next week for my left eye. I'll report back.
