Does congenital cataract present with glaucoma?

The following conditions present with infantile cataract and glaucoma: • Aniridia Aniridia literally means absence of an iris. However, this is somewhat a misnomer because there is always some amount of iris tissue present. This condition commonly presents with other ocular problems that involve the other parts of the eye such as cataract, lens subluxation, glaucoma, optic nerve hypoplasia, and foveal hypoplasia. The latter two results in poor vision • Anterior Segment Dysgenesis Anterior segment dysgenesis is a spectrum of eye disorders that involves the anterior part of the eye. These diseases present abnormal development of the cornea, iris and lens during embryogenesis. The structural abnormalities that result from the dysgenesis produce corneal opacity, glaucoma, and cataract. • Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous (PHPV) PHPV represents an abnormal regression of the primitive hyaloid vascular system in the eye. This produces a fibrovascular stalk that connects the optic disc
