Visual Acuity and Ophthalmic Outcomes 5 Years After Cataract Surgery Among Children Younger Than 13 Years.

In this cohort study, development of glaucoma or glaucoma suspect was common in children 5 years after lensectomy.

Incidence of Glaucoma-Related Adverse Events in the First 5 Years After Pediatric Lensectomy.

In this cohort study, glaucoma-related adverse events were common after cataract surgery in children; age less than 3 months at surgery was associated with elevated risk of the adverse events in aphakic eyes.

Complications Occurring Through 5 Years Following Primary Intraocular Lens Implantation for Pediatric Cataract.

In this cohort study, a frequent complication following pediatric lensectomy with primary IOL was surgery for VAO, which was associated with primary anterior vitrectomy not being performed but was not associated with age at surgery or IOL location.

Visual Outcomes and Complications After Lensectomy for Traumatic Cataract in Children.

Trauma was not a common cause of pediatric cataract requiring surgery.

Complications, Visual Acuity, and Refractive Error 3 Years after Secondary Intraocular Lens Implantation for Pediatric Aphakia.

Eyes with secondary IOL implantation have a risk of developing new GRAEs.

Outcomes and Complications 5 Years After Surgery for Pediatric Cataract Associated With Persistent Fetal Vasculature.

A wide range of visual outcomes for PFV cataract were observed with a 10% probability of achieving age-normal VA. There was an ongoing risk for the development of glaucoma-related adverse events in PFV eyes.

Visual Outcomes and Complications Over 5 Years Following Lensectomy for Childhood Traumatic Cataract.

In this cohort study, while only half of the study participants had a 5-year follow-up visit, achieving age-normal VA was uncommon among the cohort in whom a best-corrected VA was determined.

Effects of Age at Surgery and Laterality of Cataract on Visual Acuity 5 Years after Surgery in Infants Left Aphakic.

For bilateral surgery in the first year of life, 5-year VA did not differ by age at surgery.

Prediction of Juvenile-Onset Myopia.

Future myopia can be predicted in a nonmyopic child using a simple, single measure of refractive error. Future trials for prevention of myopia should target the child with low hyperopia as the child at risk.
