The establishment of the cataract animal model is an effective and practical means for researching the pathogenesis and exploring the treatment method. The congenital cataract may be caused by chromosome abnormality or gene mutation and other factors, at present, a model is mainly made by three ways, and the first way is a transgenic mouse established by a gene means or a gene mutated mouse strain; the second method is to induce gene mutation by physical or chemical method; the third is by targeted targeting or knockout of different genomic sites. The cataract has high genetic heterogeneity, and genetic cataract can be formed by any gene mutation related to lens development and differentiation, so that the pathogenic genes of the cataract are also many, many of the genes have not been specifically analyzed at present, and a lot of unknown genes exist. Therefore, more cataract animal models need to be manufactured, and important carriers are provided for basic and clinical researches such as the pathogenesis, the disease course progression, drug development and drug efficacy evaluation of cataract.
