a primary care provider may suspect cataract formation in a patient with which finding?
asymmetric red reflex
corneal opacification
excessive tearing
injection of conjunctiva
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye. An asymmetric red - reflex can be a sign of cataract as it indicates an abnormal light reflection from the back of the eye due to the clouded lens. Corneal opacification refers to clouding of the cornea, not the lens (cataract is lens - related). Excessive tearing is usually related to issues with tear production or drainage, not cataracts. Injection of conjunctiva is often associated with inflammation of the conjunctiva, not cataracts.
