What is the problem with the white and transparent objects in the baby's pupils?

Patient's question:

The symptom is that the baby's pupils have white small spots since birth, which are getting bigger, and there are also accompanying symptoms that have not yet been discovered. The baby is too young and it is natural for this to happen, but the cause is still unknown. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Not treated. What kind of assistance is needed: Inform the cause, use what method to treat...

Doctor's answer:

As a mother, if you suffer from viral infections such as rubella, measles, chickenpox, mumps, hypoparathyroidism, or malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies during the early stages of pregnancy (the first 6 months), it may lead to cataracts.
Advice: The main symptom of cataracts is vision impairment and blurred vision. Due to differences in the location and severity of cataracts, their impact on vision may vary. If the cataract develops in the peripheral part of the lens, vision may remain unaffected. If the opacity is located in the central part of the lens, mild cases may result in reduced vision, while severe cases may cause vision to only perceive hand movements or light. Additionally, it may manifest as a decrease in nearsightedness, requiring frequent replacement of glasses; monocular diplopia or polyopia; fixed shadows in the field of vision or darkened vision; and photophobia. In general, cataract eyes do not exhibit redness or pain.
Doctor's Advice: Carefully observe if the child has any of the above symptoms. Seek immediate examination at a formal hospital and do not delay.
