  • My sister's baby has been diagnosed with infant cataract. Is this curable?

    Congenital cataracts are treatable. If the cataract is visually significant, it should be removed. Visual development can be severely impaired without surgery. A pediatric ophthalmologist can help you determine the best course of treatment. Outcomes can vary depending on whether the child has a unilateral cataract vs bilateral cataracts. Small cataracts that are not visually significant can be closely watched. Early intervention is generally associated with better visual development outcomes. READ MORE
