Congenital Cataract Surgery
Congenital cataract surgery is a specialized procedure performed to remove cataracts present at birth or developed during early childhood. These cataracts can significantly affect vision, leading to amblyopia (lazy eye), poor visual development, or even blindness if untreated. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for normal visual development in infants and young children.
At Desai Eye Hospital, our experienced pediatric ophthalmologists use advanced microsurgical techniques to safely remove congenital cataracts, ensuring optimal vision restoration and eye health for young patients.
How Does It Work?
