Most of cases were free of nystagmus or strabismus. Among all studied cases, 41.3% of cases had congenital cataract, 53.1% had traumatic cataract. Among all studied congenital cataract cases., 30.3% had total cataract, 15.1% had Anterior polar cataract, 13.6% had Posterior polar cataract, 12.1% had Lamellar cataract, 9.0% had nuclear cataract, 7.5% had blue dot cataract, and 9.0% had Nuclear and posterior subcapsular cataract. All studied cases were subjected to surgical approaches, anterior approach was the most used approach, most of cases were associated with IOL implantation.
