It is as if "disconnecting" the information from that eye, being the main cause of poor vision in children depending on the size, location and density of the cataract, the treatment is more complex than in adults since they are considered aspects of great importance such as It is the time of surgery among others. Diagnosing the congenital cataract in time would avoid serious consequences, so an ophthalmological control should be followed every six months, from the moment the presence of this opacity was detected in the lens.
