My son is 3 years old and has developed cataract. What should I do?

If it is truly a cataract (which should be diagnosed by an eye doctor - typically during a dilated eye exam), then cataract surgery may be warranted. However, the first important question is why did a cataract develop? Was there trauma to the eye, infection, a neoplasm, retinal detachment or other problem that led to the cataract? If so those problems would also need to be addressed. At this point, I would recommend seeing a pediatric ophthalmologist (preferably one who performs cataract surgery). The surgery (if the cataract is the only problem) is typically not challenging but the vision recovery after surgery is VERY important and potentially challenging and labor intensive. In some cases a cataract may be noted but not affect the vision significantly, in which case observation until the cataract worsens is the best course of action.
