Question
Children show a delayed response to bright-colored ball toys, and their pupils appear gray. Initial diagnosis indicates congenital cataracts. Parents are concerned whether cataracts can cause eye hemorrhage, and whether vision can be fully or partially restored after surgery.
Answer
Cataracts themselves do not cause eye hemorrhage. According to the description, the bloodstains near the ball toys are gradually disappearing, which may indicate subconjunctival hemorrhage. This condition will absorb naturally and does not require excessive worry. It is recommended to use eye drops daily and observe for any signs of infection. Gently squeeze along the lacrimal sac direction to check for pus secretion, to exclude the possibility of dacryocystitis. Currently, the diagnosis of cataracts is not sufficient, and it is suggested to visit a professional ophthalmology institution for a detailed examination. As for the vision recovery after surgery, it depends on individual differences and the outcome of the surgery.
