Girl, 7 years old Diagnosed with congenital cataracts at the age of 5
Answer
In your situation, it is necessary to undergo ophthalmic examinations including slit lamp examination, fundus examination, refraction, and intraocular pressure. If diagnosed with cataracts, cataract extracapsular extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation is required for treatment. Moreover, since there are various factors causing pediatric fundus diseases, it is essential to understand the etiology before treatment and implement symptomatic treatment principles. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
