The natural history of congenital sutural cataracts. Case report with long-term follow-up.
A 21-year-old patient is presented in whom striking regression of congenital sutural cataracts and progression of lamellar cataracts were documented photographically over an 18-year period. These unexplained findings are at variance with the prevailing impression that congenital nuclear and sutural cataracts are stationary in postnatal life.
