A teenage boy who was previously diagnosed to have congenital ichthyosis presented to the eye clinic with complaints of gradually decreasing vision in both eyes since childhood. The best-corrected distance visual acuity was 20/125 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. Clinical examination revealed developmental cataracts in both eyes. He underwent cataract surgery in the right eye and visual acuity improved to 20/25. Hence, we conclude that congenital ichthyosis can be associated with developmental cataracts. Cataract surgery helps in restoring vision in those with visually significant cataracts.
一名曾被诊断患有先天性鱼鳞病的少年因双眼视力逐渐下降而到眼科就诊，自幼即有此症状。右眼最佳矫正视力为 20/125，左眼为 20/40。临床检查发现双眼均有发育性白内障。他在右眼接受了白内障手术，视力提高到了 20/25。因此，我们得出结论，先天性鱼鳞病可伴有发育性白内障。白内障手术有助于恢复有明显白内障的患者的视力。
