Open-access Christmas tree cataract

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    ABSTRACT

    The Christmas tree cataract is a rare type of lens opacification characterized by deposits of needle-shaped polychromatic cortex deep in the core, that can be isolated or associated with other opacities. We report and record, through photographs, two cases of this type of lens opacity.
