The statusquo and advances in categorization of congenital cataract
Journal Title: Eye Science - Year 2024, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Congenital cataract (CC) is one of the most common causes of pediatric visual impairment. As our understanding of CC's etiology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenic genes deepens, various CC categorization systems based on different classification criteria have been proposed. Regrettably, the application of the CC category in clinical practice and scientific research is limited. It is challenging to obtain precise information that could guide the timely treatment decision-making for pediatric cataract patients or predict their prognosis from a specific CC classification. This review aims to discuss the status quo of CC categorization systems and the potential directions for future research in this field, focusing on categorization principles and scientific application in clinical practice. Additionally, it aims to propose the potential directions for future research in this domain.
