Anisometropia at Age 5 Years After Unilateral Intraocular Lens Implantation During Infancy in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the prevalence of anisometropia at age 5 years after unilateral intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in infants.

Design

Prospective randomized clinical trial.

Methods

Fifty-seven infants in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS) with a unilateral cataract were randomized to IOL implantation with an initial targeted postoperative refractive error of either +8 diopters (D) (infants 28 to <48 days of age) or +6 D (infants 48-210 days of age). Anisometropia was calculated at age 5 years. Six patients were excluded from the analyses.

Results

Median age at cataract surgery was 2.2 months (interquartile range [IQR], 1.2, 3.5 months). The mean age at the age 5 years follow-up visit was 5.0 ± 0.1 years (range, 4.9-5.4 years). The median refractive er
