| congenital cataract | A cataract or clouding or the lens of the eye, that occurs in the foetus at some time during pregnancy.

| copper cataract | chalcosis lentis |
| poikiloderma atrophicans and cataract | The rothmund-thomson syndrome, a genetic disorder with numerous features affecting skin (premature aging, excess pigmentation, dilated blood vessels),eyes ( uvenile cataract), nose (saddle nose), teeth (maldeveloped), skeletal system (congenital bone defects) hair (abnormal), gonads (underdevelopment) limbs (soft tissue contractures), growth (short stature). Blood (anaemia) and a tendency to develop a type of bone cancer (osteogenic sarcoma). The rts gene is on chromosome 8. The syndrome is recessive so to be affected with rts a child has to have two rts genes, one from each parent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coralliform cataract | Congenital cataract with round or elongated processes radiating from the centre of the lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polar cataract | A capsular cataract limited to an area of the anterior or posterior pole of the lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary cataract | Peripheral cortical developmental cataract occurring just after puberty; transmitted as a hereditary dominant characteristic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical cataract | A cataract in which the opacity affects the cortex of the lens. Synonym: peripheral cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myotonic cataract | Cataract occurring in myotonic dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior subcapsular cataract | A cataract involving the cortex at the posterior pole of the lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crystalline cataract | A hereditary cataract with a coralliform or needle-shaped accumulation of crystals in the axial region of an otherwise clear lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cuneiform cataract | Cortical cataract in which the opacities radiate from the periphery like spokes of a wheel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cupuliform cataract | A common form of senile cataract often confined to a region just within the posterior capsule. Synonym: saucer-shaped cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |

| progeria with cataract | A syndrome of bony anomalies of the calvaria, face, and jaw, with brachygnathia, narrow curved nose, and multiple ocular defects including microphthalmia, microcornea, and cataract, often with alopecia overlying skull sutures, or alopecia areata and hypoplasia, or absence of eyebrows. The pattern of inheritance is undecided. Synonym: congenital sutural alopecia, Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, Hallermann-Streiff-Francois syndrome, mandibulo-oculofacial syndrome, oculomandibulodyscephaly, oculomandibulofacial syndrome, progeria with cataract, progeria with microphthalmia.
