Although there are studies on clinical features and visual acuity outcomes of pediatric cataract surgery, there are no studies that look into aspects of color vision, stereopsis, and cognitive functions in children with cataracts. Studying these parameters pre- and postsurgery will help us assess the overall components of visual function that are critical for the child's development.

All children had color vision deficiency. Preoperatively, 62% of the children had strong and moderate deficiency, whereas postoperatively, 66.6% had mild deficiency. We found negative correlation (<i>r =</i> -0.503) between social quotient and percentage of visual impairment indicating that when visual impairment increases social quotient decreases.
