Talk:Cataract

Name of condition

Is the condition called cataract or cataracts? I have seen both used in medical journals. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 01:21, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

References to the religious identity of historical figures is inappropriate

For some odd reason the history section describes historical figures by their religion 'Muslim' and 'Jewish'. The reader might be interested in the nation / empire / geographic region / city, but not religion. Most texts describe this in terms of the city and nation or other name by which the larger surrounding area is known, e.g., Mesopotamia, ancient Palestine.

Improving top-importance medicine articles: Join the Vital Signs campaign 2026

The goal of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at least B-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.

If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:

1. Add yourself as a participant
2. Note the state of the article in the Progress table (is the current class still correct?)
3. Update the article based on recent clinical guidelines and review papers
4. Help address gaps, improve clarity for a broad audience, or improve image selection

To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated. Femke (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
