Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the refractive status in infants who underwent cataract surgery before one year old.
Methods
: Refraction examination was preformed in 58 aphakia children (108 eyes, unilateral aphakia 8 eyes), who underwent binocular or unilateral cataract surgery before one year old, in their age of 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months 18 months, 24 months, 30 months and 36 months. 45 male (83 eyes) and 14 female (26 eyes) were included. The mean age at the time of cataract surgery was 5.28 months.
Results:
The average reduction of refraction in first 3 years is 5.007D. The mean reduction in the first year is 2.550D, in the second year is 1.654D, and in the third year is 0.873D, the difftrences among each year were statistically significant (P <0.01).
Conclusion:
The refraction of aphakia children is reduced the most in the first year. The annual reductions are more than that in normal children in the first three years.
Key words:
Congenial Cataract; Aphakia; Refractive Change

China Practical Ophthalmology was founded in May 1983. It is supervised by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and China Medical University, and publicly distributed at home and abroad. It is a national-level excellent core academic journal of comprehensive ophthalmology and a series of journals of the Chinese Medical Association.
China Practical Ophthalmology aims to guide and improve the theoretical level and actual clinical diagnosis and treatment ability of frontline ophthalmologists in my country. It is characterized by close integration with clinical practice, and timely publishes academic articles and scientific research results with high practical value to clinicians, so that readers can understand and use them, improve the theoretical level and diagnosis and treatment ability of ophthalmologists, help and support their innovative development, and is deeply welcomed and loved by ophthalmologists and readers.
