How can parents tell if an infant has cataract?

1. White pupil sign: adult cataract patients often seek medical treatment due to obvious vision loss, while infant cataract patients, especially monocular patients, generally have no symptoms, so their diagnosis is often delayed. Only when white reflection appears in the pupil area, that is, the so-called white pupil sign, can parents or doctors pay attention to it. White pupil sign is not unique to congenital cataract, Clinically, it should be differentiated from other diseases.

2. Nystagmus: most of the children with dense and turbid cataract are accompanied with nystagmus, which is mostly migratory and searchable. This type of nystagmus often indicates very low vision, generally no more than 0. 1。
