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

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the cumulative incidence of complications and to describe refractive error and visual acuity (VA) outcomes in children undergoing secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after previous surgery for nontraumatic cataract.

Design

Pediatric cataract registry.

Participants

Eighty children (108 eyes: 60 bilateral, 48 unilateral) undergoing lensectomy at younger than 13 years of age.

Methods

Annual data collection from medical record review through 5 years after lensectomy.

Main outcome measures

Cumulative incidence of newly emergent complications after secondary IOL implantation; refractive error and VA by 5 years after lensectomy.

Results

Median follow-up after secondary IOL implantation was 2.7 years (interquartile range [IQR],
