The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan client August 17 (correspondent Pei Nishang Peng Yigui) Xiaoyu (pseudonym), who is three and a half years old, often recognizes the wrong person, thinking that it is slow to develop. The 4 -year -old Nini (pseudonym) could not distinguish the color of the building blocks and was found to have congenital cataracts. It is understood that in the summer of this year, the Er Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University has received a number of congenital cataract children.

Xiaoyu (pseudonym) from Xianning, Hubei this year is 3 and a half years old. He usually loves to laugh and moves. "My son always recognizes his grandfather and father. Everyone still feels funny. Later, he found that his aunt and grandmother were always wrong. We thought it was a child. What are the problems with IQ? "Xiaoyu's mother said that when I went to the hospital for examination, I knew that the child's eyes could not see the" face blindness ".

Dr. Wang Yong, director of the cataract and old vision specialist affiliated to Wuhan University, found that Xiaoyu suffered from congenital cataract and needed surgery.

Dr. Wang Yong explained that congenital cataracts are one of the main causes of child blindness and visual disability. Its incidence among infants and young children is about 0.5%, which seriously affects children's growth and learning. The obstruction of cataracts leads to the deprivation of sexual amblyopia, and even cause lifelong disability, which will adversely affect future work.
