Abstract


Christmas tree cataract is a rare age-related condition characterized by the presence of multicolored crystals in the substance of the lens [1-3]. It is a chemical mixture of denaturized proteins with high level of calcium and cystine [4,5]. This type of cataract may be associated with autosomal-dominant myotonic dystrophy.
