Abstract

Congenital cataract is a leading cause of childhood blindness that demands prompt surgical intervention to prevent irreversible visual impairment. This case report presents an infant with bilateral congenital cataracts whose diagnosis and treatment were delayed beyond the optimal intervention window. The patient underwent cataract extraction using irrigation aspiration, primary posterior capsulotomy, and anterior vitrectomy. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was deferred due to considerations of the patient’s age and corneal diameter, and aphakia was managed with high-powered spectacles. Postoperative follow-up revealed improved visual responses, including fixation and following of light and objects, indicating positive visual development. This case highlights the importance of timely identification, appropriate surgical technique, and tailored postoperative visual rehabilitation in managing pediatric cataracts to optimize functional outcomes.

Abstract

Juvenile cataracts, though less common than congenital types, can cause irreversible visual impairment if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. We report a 10-year-old boy with progressive bilateral visual loss, photophobia, and leukocoria over three years, with a positive paternal history suggesting hereditary etiology. Examination revealed dense bilateral lens opacities and markedly reduced visual acuity. The patient underwent sequential aspiration–irrigation with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. Surgeries were uneventful; however, postoperative vision in the right eye remained limited due to deprivation amblyopia, while the left eye achieved a better functional outcome. Final refraction showed mild residual error, and the patient was continued on visual rehabilitation and amblyopia therapy. This case highlights the importance of early detection and timely surgery in pediatric cataract to prevent permanent visual deficits and optimize outcomes. This report aims to illustrate the impact of delayed intervention on functional vision, daily activities, and educational performance in school-aged children within resource-limited settings.
