Acquired posterior lentiglobus

Abstract

Purpose/methods: An infant examined by three ophthalmologists was found to have unilateral posterior lentiglobus, which subsequently developed bilaterally by 15 weeks of age.

Results/conclusions: The onset of posterior lentiglobus may be congenital or acquired. Infants with unilateral cataracts whose family history indicates early-onset lens opacities require careful and frequent examinations of the fellow eye.
