Bilateral cerulean cataract with distinctive bluish-white opacities

Cerulean cataract (also referred to as blue-dot cataract) is a rare, developmental variant of congenital cataract characterized by bilateral bluish-white, superficial lens opacities arranged in concentric or radial patterns. They are typically non-progressive but can impair vision, warranting surgical removal in certain cases.[1,2]Fig. 1a and b represent diffuse slit-lamp images of the right and left eye, respectively, showing multiple discrete bluish nodular opacities across the superficial cortex. Awareness of this cataract’s distinctive appearance aids in its recognition and timely management when visual function is compromised.Figure 1: Slit-lamp photographs depicting bilateral cerulean cataract.
