We evaluated the long-term outcome of cataract surgery in infants and children. The series com-prised congenital cataract in 12 eyes of 5 patients below 5 years of age, atopic cataract in 6 eyes of 3 patients aged from 6 to 15 years, and unilateral traumatic cataract in a 9-year-old child. Intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted in 5 eyes of congenital cataract and in all the other 7 eyes. Visual acuity of 1.0 or over was obtained in 11 eyes (58%). The corneal endothelial loss averaged 17.5%. The majority of cases attained good binocu-lar vision. Postoperative complications included nystagmus 2 cases, glaucoma 3 eyes, retinal detachment 2 eyes and opacity of posterior capsule 17 eyes. The relatively fair visual outcome in the majority of cases was due to IOL implantation in eyes without nystagmus, correction of refraction with eyeglasses or contact lens, and orthoptic training whenever necessary.
