No: This will not affect the cataract. The cornea is the surface of the eye (the winshield). A catarct is inside the eye.

No: A congential cataract is treated with cataract removal. A corneal transplant treats corneal disease and would not correct a congenital cataract unless this is removed at the same time. If the cornea is clear, only the cataract would need to be removed.

Not specifically : Corneal transplants are done most commonly for corneal scarring, swelling, or ectasias. Unless one of these conditions is present along with the congenital cataract, a corneal transplant should not be necessary.

Corneal Transplant C: Sometimes congential cataracts can be associated with an abnormal cornea requiring a Corneal Transplant. But a corneal transplant treats corneal anomalies and not cataracts, which require lens removal and an implant or contact lens after surgery.
