PURPOSE: To evaluate the visual function before and after cataract surgery in children with congenital posterior lens opacities as well as the factors associated with a good visual outcome. DESIGN: Perspective case-series study. METHODS: Pediatric patients with posterior lens opacities who underwent cataract surgery were recruited in this study. The cataract type, location, area of opacities, and strabismus were examined perioperatively. Moreover, visual acuity, modulation transfer function (MTF), ocular aberrations, and stereopsis were measured before and after cataract surgery. RESULTS: Sixty-nine eyes of 63 patients were studied. The mean age of patients at surgery was 6.5 +/- 2.9 years. Visual function including corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), MTF cutoff frequency, and ocular aberrations were significantly affected in eyes with posterior lens opacities. Postoperatively, CDVA was significantly improved from 0.81 +/- 0.53 logMAR to 0.40 +/- 0.40 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (P < .001). Thirty-nine patients (56.5%) achieved a final VA of 20/40 or better. Moreover, MTF cutoff values were significantly improved, and total ocular aberrations were decreased after cataract removal (both P < .001). The stereopsis was also improved postoperatively (P < .001). The multivariate analysis of the risk factors for postoperative CDVA showed that worse preoperative CDVA, larger size of lens opacities, and mean keratometry were the risk factors (all P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Visual function can be significantly decreased in children with posterior lens opacities, and surgery was effective in improving visual function. Patients with a CDVA of 0.52 logMAR or better, a size of lens opacity < 6.5 mm(2) and smaller mean keratometry had a greater CDVA postoperatively. (C) 2022Published by Elsevier Inc.
