Predicting Postoperative Myopic Shift After Paediatric Intraocular Lens Implantation: A Scoping Review of Associated Factors.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Predicting postoperative refractive development after paediatric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation remains challenging due to continued ocular growth and interindividual variability. This scoping review maps current evidence on demographic, biometric, and surgical factors influencing postoperative myopic shift in children undergoing cataract surgery with IOL implantation. Methods and Materials: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus from the last ten years through October 2025. Eligible studies included children (≤18 years) with congenital or developmental cataract undergoing primary or secondary IOL implantation that reported postoperative refractive change and its predictors. Titles, abstracts, and full texts were scre
