Data on long-term glaucoma-related status and outcomes were collected when children were 10.5 years old. Participants were randomized at cataract surgery to either primary intraocular lens (IOL) or no IOL implantation (contact lens [CL]). AS-OCT findings in eyes with glaucoma were compared to eyes which did not have glaucoma and to the fellow eyes, between fellow and treated eyes, and between the IOL and CL groups.<h4>Results</h4>There were no significant differences in the mean nasal and temporal anterior chamber angle (ACA) or mean nasal and temporal angle opening distance (AOD) for nonglaucomatous, glaucomatous, and fellow eyes (P = 0.31, 0.16, 0.43, 0.08 resp.). There were also no significant differences in mean nasal and temporal ACA and AOD between fellow and treated eyes (P = 0.44, 0.67, 0.57, 0.38 resp.), or between IOL and CL groups (P = 0.36, 0.35, 0.49, 0.44, resp.).<h4>Conclusions</h4>AS-OCT confirmed that eyes with glaucoma in IATS had predominantly open angles with similar ACA and AOD to eyes without glaucoma and to fellow eyes. Furthermore, congenital cataract surgery with or without an IOL did not result in a significant difference in ACA or AOD compared to fellow eyes in IATS.Journal of AAPOS : the official publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and StrabismusAnterior segment optical coherence tomography findings in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS): a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial.PMC9729428EY06360U10 EY013272U10 EY13272U10 EY013287P30 EY026877Beck ADLambert SRInfant Aphakia Treatment Study GroupNizam AFreedman SFfalseAnterior segment optical coherence tomography findings in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS): a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial.<h4>Purpose</h4>To correlate the diagnosis of glaucoma among children in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS) by age 10 years with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) findings.<h4>Methods</h4>A multicenter randomized controlled trial of 114 infants with unilateral congenital cataract who were 1-6 months of age at surgery.
