Congenital Cataracts treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Congenital cataracts are cloudings of the eye's lens present from birth or that appear in the first months of life, and they can interfere with the normal development of the baby's vision.

Common symptoms:

• Whitish or grayish reflection in the pupil
• Lack of visual tracking of objects or lights
• At times, misalignment of the eyes

When to see the doctor? It is best to promptly check any abnormal reflection in the pupil or suspicion that the baby does not see well, since early care is key for vision.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who evaluates the lens and the child's visual health, in coordination with the pediatrician. If you notice any sign, the most advisable thing is a professional evaluation without delay.
