摘要
The optimal time for surgical intervention in bilateral congenital cataract is still a matter of controversy. Herein, we evaluated clinical and functional results after bilateral congenital cataract surgery and performed subgroup analysis based on the age at the time of surgery. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 52 eyes of 26 children who underwent surgery for bilateral congenital cataract without intraocular lens implantation within the first 12 months of life; 16 eyes underwent phacoaspiration within the first 10 weeks of life (group A) and 26 eyes had cataract extraction at an age of > 10 weeks (group B). We defined the primary outcome measure to be the prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe amblyopia in relationship to age-dependent visual acuity norms after a mean follow-up of 59.7 +/- 43.2 months. Secondary outcome measures were interocular difference of visual acuity and the presence of strabismus, nystagmus, posterior capsule opacification, and aphakic glaucoma. The prevalence of amblyopia was not statistically different between the two age groups. Of all children, 62.5 % (A) and 61.1 % (B) developed age-dependent normal visual acuity or mild amblyopia. However, the younger cohort developed significantly less strabismus than the older cohort (P = 0.03). There was a strong relationship between cataract surgery within the first 14 weeks of life and the development of aphakic glaucoma. All children developing secondary cataract formation underwent cataract surgery in the first 20 weeks of life. Our results suggest that long-term prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe amblyopia is similar between the two cohorts of bilateral congenital cataract eyes based on the age ae<currency> or > 10 weeks at the time of surgery. Because there is a strong relationship between postoperative complications and a young age at the time of cataract surgery, close postoperative follow-up is essential. Strabismus is less likely to develop in infants after bilateral cataract surgery within the first 10 weeks of life.
