Long-term vision after congenital cataract surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how good a child's vision and eye prescription are 5 years after surgery for a cataract they were born with. The goal is to understand long-term results and help guide care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child was born with a cataract (cloudy lens) and had it removed before their first birthday.
- You are able to bring your child to regular checkups for at least 5 years after surgery.
- The cataract was not caused by an injury or a disease that started after birth.
- Your child does not have other eye problems from birth, like an unusually small eye or a missing piece of the eye.
- Your child does not have a genetic condition that affects vision (like Down syndrome).

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at children who have cataracts (clouding of the eye lens) and how well treatments and eye care go. You may be able to take part if your child can cooperate with eye exams and does not have certain mental or learning conditions that affect participation.
This study tests a new lens for children who have had both cataracts removed and artificial lenses implanted. It may help improve vision after their surgery.
This is a research study that follows children with cataracts to learn more about the condition. If your child is under 18 and has a cataract in one or both eyes, this study may be able to include them.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to treat cataracts present since birth in children, to see which approach works better. It may help your child by improving surgical outcomes and recovery.
This study uses very specific eye measurements done before cataract surgery to see how they relate to the clarity of vision after surgery. It may help surgeons choose the best surgical approach and improve visual outcomes.
This study looks at how cataract surgery affects patients’ vision and recovery. You may be invited if you have cataracts and can participate in eye exams, and if mental health or thinking issues won’t interfere with the study.
