What does innate cataract look like?

Congenital cataract mostly exists before and after birth, and its incidence is in China. Cataract can cause blindness or amblyopia in infants and young children, and 22% to 30% of blind children are caused by cataracts, which has become the second cause of blindness in children. May be isolated cataract or associated with eye or frontal facial developmental abnormalities.

Congenital cataract can be **, try to buy Jianmin Misty Tablets at the famous medicine exchange, it is very effective for cataract, and floaters.

There are many types of congenital cataracts, including complete and incomplete cataracts, and can be divided into nuclear, cortical, and membranous cataracts. Visual impairment varies due to the location, morphology, and degree of opacity. The more common types of cataracts are as follows.

1. Total cataract (total cataract) The lens is completely or nearly completely cloudy, or it can develop gradually after birth and become completely cloudy within 1 year of age. This is because the crystal fibers are damaged during the middle or late stages of development. The clinical manifestations are white opacity of the crystals in the pupillary area, and sometimes the capsule is thickened, calcified, or cortical condensed or even dislocated.

Visual impairment is obvious, mostly bilateral, with autosomal dominant inheritance being the most common, and can be inherited for several generations within a family (see Figure 3). A few are recessive, and a very small number are sex-linked recessive. 2. Membrane cataract When the crystal fibers of congenital complete cataract degenerate in utero, their cortex is gradually absorbed to form membranous cataract.

When the cortex swells or the vitreous artery stretches the posterior capsule, it can cause the posterior capsule to rupture, accelerating the resorption of the cortex, which is characterized by congenital aphax. The clinical manifestations are grayish-white dura mater with unequal number of colored spots, irregular surfaces, and sometimes ciliary processes and blood vessels visible on the surface of the membrane, the latter of which may arise from the embryonic vascular membrane. There are also fibrous tissues extending to the surface of the membrane, so it is also called vascular membranous cataract or fibrous cataract.

Onset in one or both eyes. Severe visual impairment. A few cases are complicated with intrauterine iridocyclitis.

3. Nuclear cataract This disease is relatively common, accounting for about 1 4 of congenital cataracts. Both the embryonic and fetal nuclei are involved and appear as a dense white opacity (color Figure 4) with a range of 4 5 mm opacity, completely occluding the pupillary area, so that visual impairment is evident. Most of them are diseases of both eyes.

It is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, and a few are recessive, but it is also sporadic.

Cataract is a particularly serious eye disease, and many cataracts are congenital and have a lot to do with heredity. Therefore, many cataract patients are congenital and will have this eye disease at birth. This kind of cataract is also not able to be completely **, and can only relieve the pain through some**.

Do you know what causes congenital cataracts?

We must know that congenital cataract and heredity are very related, if your parents or other relatives have congenital cataracts, this disease may be inherited to you. Therefore, it is very important to have a medical check-up before getting married, so as to prevent many diseases. Hereditary congenital cataracts have a lot of genetic manifestations, such as the various manifestations of cancer that can occur in newborn babies.

At this time, parents must take care of their children, give their children more care, and give their children the corresponding **, and the pain of the children. We must know that congenital cataract is related to genes, this disease will not harm people's lives, nor will it affect fertility, but it will make this disease continue to be inherited.

If the expectant mother eats something improper during pregnancy, or is hit by an external impact, it may cause the baby's eyes to have lesions, and it is likely to suffer from cataracts. Therefore, during pregnancy, the mother must follow the doctor's instructions to balance her diet and not eat and drink indiscriminately. We need to know that the fetus is relatively fragile, and even a little injury will affect the growth of the fetus.

Especially if the mother is infected with rubella during pregnancy, the chance of congenital cataract is particularly high. Therefore, expectant mothers must protect themselves during pregnancy and do not allow themselves to be infected with some special diseases, which will threaten the health of the child.

Congenital cataract may be due to genetic factors, or it may be due to a change in the lens of the eye, or the eye has been damaged in some way, and the lens of the eye is underdeveloped, or it may be due to some trauma caused by an external force.

Congenital cataracts** include the following:

1. Congenital cataract is mostly caused by genetic factors, that is, at least one of the parents of congenital cataract patients has cataract.

2. During pregnancy, the mother is affected by adverse factors, such as viral infection, drug use, intrauterine inflammation, etc., which may affect the eye development of the fetus, and then congenital cataract occurs.

I think it's genetic, behavioral, dietary, rest, and genetic.

Do cataracts develop quickly?

The main symptom of cataract is visual disturbance, which is related to the degree and location of the cloudiness of the lens. Severe cataracts can cause blindness. If congenital cataract is static and has little impact on vision, it is generally not needed, such as punctate cataract, coronary cataract, anterior pole cataract, etc.

Circumnuclear cataract, total cataract, etc.: Surgery should be performed for those who significantly affect vision.

Can cataracts in my child progress to the point where they affect vision?

Dear friends, cataract refers to the turbidity of the lens of the eye, the turbid lens blocks the light entering the eye, which will affect the development of the child's vision, thereby causing lifelong low vision, Shijiazhuang Eye Hospital reminds: congenital cataract should be taken seriously. Go to a specialist hospital for a check-up as soon as possible**.

Will a child continue to grow up after a little congenital cataract?

Such a thing is not easy to judge.

Therefore, it is better to deal with it in a timely manner and deal with it as soon as possible.

After all, there are times when there is such free medical care.

You can stay tuned.

Is congenital cataract inherited and does it affect the next generation?

If one or both parents have congenital cataracts or congenital retinal problems, it is also possible that the fetus may also have visual impairment due to genetics. According to research data, 1 3 of the causes of congenital cataract in babies are inherited from their parents, 1 3 may be due to the expectant mother's chickenpox infection during pregnancy or taking certain drugs during pregnancy, and 1 3 unknown factors. It can be seen that if parents have congenital cataracts, the probability of inheriting them to their babies is relatively high.

In addition, parents with amblyopia due to high myopia (myopia of more than 1000 degrees), high astigmatism, and high farsightedness may also have amblyopia through genetic inheritance. However, experts said that at present, medical testing and ** methods are quite developed, even if the baby has vision problems, as long as the ** and correction are given as soon as possible, it will not affect the normal vision development of the baby.

A cataract is simply a clouding of the transparent crystal. Congenital cataracts are usually caused by a cloudy lens at birth. Medical studies have found that congenital cataracts occur in about 4 out of every 1,000 newborns.

Children with congenital cataracts often have poor vision. If the child is found to be unable to fixate; The eyes cannot swim with the light; Unable to grasp objects in front of you; Even if the pupils are pale, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check whether you have congenital cataracts.

Nearly 1 in 4 families of children with congenital cataract can be found in similar cataract patients, which means that congenital cataract can be inherited. Other factors that cause congenital cataracts, such as vitamin A deficiency due to nutritional metabolism disorders during pregnancy, abnormal calcium metabolism or early infection with rubella, measles and other viruses, especially rubella virus, can cause congenital cataract in the fetus. Ways to prevent congenital cataract include: The mother should eliminate unhealthy lifestyle habits (such as smoking, drinking alcohol) in the first 3 months of pregnancy; Avoid colds, reduce the chance of contracting the virus, and try to avoid medications; If the family has a history of cataracts, amniocentesis can be done in the second trimester, and if the fetus is found to carry the dominant cataract gene, the pregnancy can be terminated; In addition, the mother should pay attention to nutrition during pregnancy, supplementing vitamins and calcium.

Congenital cataracts usually require surgery**. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of removal method and timing of removal. For patients who do not progress and still have good vision, surgery is not required; For those who have affected their vision and hindered the development of visual function, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Over time, it will cause discarded amblyopia that is difficult to salvage, and you will not be able to achieve good vision for life. Surgery can usually be performed within 4 to 5 months of birth, and no later than 2 years of age.

It can be used for a long time to maintain the eyes with the pupil kernel of the United States (herbal eye patch), which has the effect of activating proteolytic enzymes, penetrating into the lens to decompose and absorb denatured proteins, improve the metabolism of eye tissue, maintain the transparency of the lens, and prevent the development of cataracts. Until you can check your eyesight, you will decide whether to have surgery. Note: In order to prevent the aggravation of the disease, it is necessary to wear glasses to correct the reading.
