My daughter is 6 months old. The cataracts has been diagnosed in her both his eyes. Why cataract developed in so young child? Can it be treated without surgery?

Most children develop as a result of some congenital deformity. As at early stage the child was not examined properly so could not be diagnosed.

The second reason is mostly that there was an injury at some point of pregnancy. The cataract can be developed shortly after the injury.

A third reason may be that the baby has been very ill at some point. The cataract may have been developed due to side-effect of the drugs used for prolonged time.

In some children, there is another congenital disease such as Down’s syndrome, which causes a damaged natural lens.
