Congenital Lamellar and Sutural Cataract in a Patient With Type 2 Diabetes

To identify the key insights or developments described in this article
1 Credit CME

A patient with a medical history of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (hemoglobin A1c, 14.8%) reported that their vision has slowly declined over the past 5 years with increased blurry vision as well as significant glare and haloes around lights. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/60 OU. The patient denied recent or remote ocular trauma. On examination, the patient had bilateral congenital lamellar and sutural cataracts likely more prominent owing to the patient’s poor diabetes control (Figure).
