  The risks of pediatric cataract surgery include infection, inflammation, retinal detachment, development of glaucoma, displacement of the intraocular lens, development of capsular cloudiness and development of vitreous cloudiness. [aapos.org]

  Cataracts typically progress slowly to cause vision loss and are potentially blinding if untreated. [1] Moreover, with time the cataract cortex liquefies to form a milky white fluid in a Morgagnian Cataract, and can cause severe inflammation if the lens [psychology.wikia.com]

  Such spontaneous posterior dislocations (akin to the earliest surgical procedure of couching) in ancient times were regarded as a blessing from the heavens, because it restored some perception of light in the bilaterally affected patients. [cs.mcgill.ca]

  Repeated surgical procedures, including a secondary lens implant if other modalities of refractive correction fail, may be needed. If this is a de novo chromosomal change or a familial abnormality, all siblings and future offspring are at risk. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Poverty, lack of awareness, distance from clinics and hospitals, fear of treatment, sex related and Cultural beliefs are the major barriers of cataract treatment. [v2020eresource.org]

Treatment Treatment Options: Visually significant opacities require surgery. Amblyopia, if present, should be treated early. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: Cataracts are diagnosed by eye doctors but it is important that pediatricians and family doctors are involved as well to ensure that they are not part of a more generalized disorder. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Morphology:• The morphology of cataract is important for several reasons: it can give a clue to the age ofonset, to the visual prognosis, it may suggest heritability, and it may give a clue to the aetiology. [slideshare.net]

Because onset is usually after the fixation reflex has been established, patients with lamellar cataracts have a better visual prognosis than patients with cataracts of earlier onset. Figure 23-3 Lamellar cataract. [entokey.com]

 Most frequently AD, but maybe AR or X-linked  Better visual prognosis than coexisting ocular and systemic abnormalities  Classified to:  Zonular cataract: opacity occupies a discrete zone in the lens  Polar cataract: opacities occupy subcapsular [docsity.com]
