We would like to report an aforementioned morphology of developmental cataract which we came across in the right eye of 38-year-old female. The cataract had a mixture of zonular, nuclear, cortical spokes, suspected posterior capsular thinning/defect, anterior subcapsular, ant eggs-like components[1],[2] [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b, and thus would like to call this an “amalgamation” cataract. One salient point to be noted that the posterior caspsular thinning/suspected defect is highlighted only on retro-illumination (a trans-illumination see through via zonular/nuclear component). Other eye was pseudophakic with no previous ocular records. The multimorphology could have been due to multiple abnormalities along the molecular pathway for lenticulogenesis. | Figure 1: (a) diffuse illumination and (b) retro-illumination showing the amalgamation cataract
