Nuclear cataracts are the subtype characterized by significant nearsightedness (myopia) and a slow indolent course. They develop in the central or nuclear portion of the lens and affect distance vision before near vision. The other options, cortical cataracts, posterior cataracts, and immature cataracts, have different characteristics such as white flecks in the outer cortex of the lens, located in the back of the lens or represent an early stage of cataract development, respectively.
