How are congenital cataracts formed?

Congenital cataract is caused by genetic factors, environmental factors and other reasons, the specific analysis is as follows:

1. Genetic factors

If one or both parents carry the disease gene, the patient's risk of suffering from this disease is greatly increased.

2. Environmental factors

If the mother is infected during pregnancy, but because the fetal lens capsule is not fully developed, the virus affects the growth of fetal lens epithelial cells, causing congenital cataract. The occurrence of this disease may also be related to long-term exposure to radioactive materials, malnutrition during pregnancy and other factors.
