Purpose
To investigate the long-term outcomes of congenital cataract surgery with IOL implantation atleast one decade after surgery
Setting
Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research centre
Methods
Prospective, interventional case series patients undergoing unilateral or bilateral congenital cataract surgery. Patients were followed up for atleast 10 years after the surgery. The outcome measures included major intraoperative complications, postoperative visual acuity, glaucoma, inflammatory complications and other postoperative complications following surgery in the long term.
Results
30 eyes of 21 patients were included in the study. The mean age at surgery was 47 months, with a mean follow-up duration 140 (standard deviation 11 months). Final results to be updated, ongoing study
Conclusions
To the best of our knowledge, this is the longest reported follow up of primary IOL implantation in Congenital cataract surgery. Based on preliminary analysis, it shows very good visual and technical outcomes with an acceptable rate of complications in these eyes
