This cataract is small but easy to see. Right in the middle of the pupil is a white dot. This is an anterior polar cataract, a not-uncommon finding. These small opacities are easy to see under the microscope, and even with a careful penlight exam, but generally don’t disturb vision much compared to other cataract types.
To get a better feel for how these polar cataracts look, you may want to watch the anterior polar cataract video that this snapshot was taken from.
