Cataracts can be categorized by age of onset, amount of vision loss, or location within the lens where they are forming.

Cataracts may be classified by cause (i.e. primary, secondary); age of onset (e.g. congenital, juvenile, senile); location within the lens (e.g. capsular, anterior cortical, posterior cortical, Y - sutural, nuclear, axial, paraxial, equatorial); and degree of completeness (i.e. incipient, immature, mature, hypermature).
