πποΈ A Christmas tree cataract is a rare type of cataract where tiny, colorful, needle-like crystals form inside the lens of the eye. These crystals reflect light, creating a shimmering, multicolored effect, hence the festive name. While it can look striking under examination, it doesnβt always affect vision right away. Itβs most often linked with aging and certain metabolic conditions, and an optician can spot it during a routine eye exam and advise if any treatment is needed.
