This publication is an epidemiologic study to assess pediatric cataract morphology, cause and systemic associations, in all cases of pediatric cataracts, that presented to a tertiary care center. Patients were included in the analysis whether or not the cataract required surgical intervention. Those patients in whom it was clinically indicated also had genetic and systemic evaluation, which allows for a more precise assessment of cause.
