Will children get cataracts?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Children can also get cataracts. At the same time, children may also have congenital cataracts. The main reason is still that the child's lens ages prematurely, causing the lens to become cloudy.
If the cataract is mild, it is generally not necessary to do anything. If the cataract is severe, cataract phacoemulsification surgery can be performed to replace the lens. It is recommended to visit the cataract department, pediatric ophthalmology department, or the hospital specializing in five senses.
