Dr. Gunjan Sharma, Dr. Priyanka Thakur, *Dr. Kanupriya Raghav

ABSTRACT

Posterior polar cataract (PPC) is a form of congenital cataract. It is autosomal dominant in inheritance but can be sporadic. Multiple genes have been implicated in its inheritance patterns. PPC form early in life but may become more clinically significant over time. Though posterior polar cataract is a challenge for cataract surgeons, patience with meticulous attention to the technique ensures a safe surgery and favourable postoperative outcome.
