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. The prevalence of glaucoma at 5 years was low among those with 5-year follow-up, while nearly half of the pseudophakic eyes needed surgery for VAO supporting the need to monitor these children.
