Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common cause of congenital cataract?

The majority of bilateral congenital or infantile cataracts have no identifiable cause. Genetic mutation and familial transmission are the most common cause.

Surgical removal of cataract with or without IOL implantation is the only treatment of congenital cataracts.

Surgery should be performed between four to eight weeks of age

It’s a type of glaucoma in which high fluid pressure in eye damages the optic nerve. It affects children between birth and three years of age.

You may notice that your baby closes her/his eyelids, seems painfully sensitive to light and tears up a lot. Your child may also have large eyes (cornea) and cloudy cornea.

Surgery is the only treatment of Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Strabismus (crossed eyes) is when your eyes are not lined up properly and they point in different directions.

Cataract surgery is a day care procedure, so you go home shortly after the surgery. You’ll need someone to come with you who can drive you home.
Here’s what to expect during the surgery:
Numbing medication: Your provider numbs the eye with drops or an injection. You may also get medication to help you relax. You will be awake during the surgery and see light and movement. But you won’t see what the ophthalmologist is doing to your eye. The surgery won’t hurt.
Cataract removal: Your provider uses a special microscope to see your eye. He/she creates tiny incisions to reach the lens. Then as ultrasound waves are used to break up the lens and remove it. Finally, the new lens is placed.
Recovery: You won’t need stitches. The tiny incisions close by themselves. Your provider will tape a shield (like an eye patch) over your eye to protect it.

Treatment may include glasses, patching, eye exercises and/or surgery.
