| Summary: | <p>Lamellar or zonular cataract is a hereditary cataract that is transmitted in an autosomal dominant mode. The crystalline opacities are located at the level of the primary fibers in the embryonic nucleus. This cataract is usually bilateral and asymmetrical.

Ophthalmic examination revealed unilateral lamellar cataract.</p> |
