Types of Congenital Cataract


Congenital cataracts may occur in different parts of the eye including:

Anterior Polar Cataracts

These occur in the front part of the eye's lens.  They are not usually operated on because they are usually quite small.

Posterior Polar Cataracts

These occur in the back portion of the eye's lens.

Nuclear Cataracts

These occur in the middle of the lens and are very common.

Cerulean Cataracts

These appear as blue dots and are usually non problematic.
