Cataract in tuberous sclerosis.
We evaluated two patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS) and cataracts. In one, the cataract had been noted at an early age. In the second, it was noted at her first ophthalmic examination, age 31. Review of the literature indicates that although in some cases, cataract is attributable to local ocular disease, it may be a rare manifestation of TS.
