Importance: Infantile cataract surgery bears a significant risk for postoperative glaucoma, and no consensus exists on factors that may reduce this risk.
Objective: To assess the effect of primary intraocular lens implantation and timing of surgery on the incidence of postoperative glaucoma.
Data Sources: We searched multiple databases to July 14, 2013, to identify studies with eligible patients, including PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Central, Google Scholar, Intute, and Tripdata.
Purpose: To report the long-term risk of glaucoma development in children following congenital cataract surgery.
Design: Retrospective interventional consecutive case series.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 62 eyes of 37 children who underwent congenital cataract surgery when <7 months of age by the same surgeon using a limbal approach.
