Long-term visual acuity and initial postoperative refractive error in pediatric pseudophakia.

Objective: To examine the long-term best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in children who, during the amblyogenic period, underwent cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and to see if initial postoperative refractive error following cataract extraction correlates with long-term BCVA.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Participants: Thirty-six eyes of 26 patients were included in the study.
